Free palmitate is activated to its coenzyme A derivative (palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitocho

ndrion. If palmitate and [14C]coenzyme A are added to a liver homogenate, palmitoyl-CoA isolated from the cytosolic fraction is radioactive, but that isolated from the mitochondrial fraction is not. Explain.

Answer:

The cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are  kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.

Explanation:

  • Fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol are first transferred to carnitine and in this process, CoA is released.
  • After this, it is transported into the mitochondrion, where it is again condensed with CoA.
  • In this way, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are kept separate, and due to this reason, no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.
  • Therefore, according to the given question, the C14 CoA that is added into the liver homogenate along with palmitate shows cytosolic radioactive fraction but not mitochondrial as in the mitochondria a different CoA joins palmitate and not the one containing C14.

Kryger [21]

It is the discomfort, inferiority, embarrassment, rejection, and disapproval we experience in our own skin when witnessing an act that we find repugnant, reprehensible, or pathetic on the part of another person.

<h3>Why is it that everything makes me cringe?</h3>

Cringe, according to developmental psychologist Phillipe Rochat, is an innate empathetic reaction of either scorn or compassion. One cannot cringe without having experienced the discomfort of an embarrassing situation, which is a requirement for an empathy reaction.

<h3>The cringe: How do you handle it?</h3>

You could do the following if you're cringing and criticizing yourself: resisting the want to recall the embarrassing situation. to divert your attention from the memories, engage in something else. telling yourself that what happened wasn't so bad or that nobody cares, so there's no reason for you to feel bad.
