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.

Answer:

The answer is:

B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.

Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).

Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).

Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).

The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.

Hope this helps! :)
