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.

<h3>What is the role of the oral dentist?</h3>

Tooth extractions are carried out by dental and oral specialists for various reasons. A painful tooth or a tooth that has been significantly affected by decay may be the problem. Sometimes a dentist will extract a tooth to make room for dental prostheses or other devices.

When the situation becomes increasingly complicated, an oral expert rather than a dental professional may need to extract a tooth. They typically remove wisdom teeth or third molars.

The dental professional or specialist will initially numb the tooth to gradually relax the patient. Even though tooth extraction may still be distressing, it may be essential for relieving dental pain and preventing further problems.

Your answer would be C because A affects the natural environment and can cause harm to it, B would affect the surrounding animal population and cause imbalances in biodiversity if they are not able to eat the foods they are used to, and D is not much of a benefit since you are losing the flavor that is naturally in the plants.
