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.

When tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma or invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, what can occur?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is an immune response produced in the body in response to the damage or trauma caused by physical or chemical factors.

The injured tissue can allow the entry of the microorganism in the body which could cause disease therefore the immune response gets activated to eliminate the pathogen.

The inflammation is marked by the swelling and redness in the injured portion due to the increased flow of blood carrying the White blood cells in that area. The immune cells interact with the pathogen and kill the pathogen.

Thus, Inflammation is the correct answer.

Ray Of Light [21]

C. Positive Feedback

This is because a response to a stimulus( low blood pressure) acts in the same direction as the stimulus ( even lower blood pressure).

This is opposed to negative feedback where the response would go in the operate direction of the stimulus ( I.e. blood pressure increasing in response to low blood pressure)
