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.

How does the enzyme telomerase meet the challenge of replicating the ends of linear chromosomes?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) It catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres, compensating for the shortening that could occur during replication without telomerase activity.

Explanation:

While replicating, the ends of the chromosomes always lose a part of the ends, therefore, the telomerase catalyzes this growing process, somehow compensating the information that will be lost.

What is the life cycle for a goldfish?​
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The life cycle of a goldfish starts out as an egg. The female fish will lay about 25 eggs, but unfortunately only some grow up. The eggs usually hatch within 5 days and if you have a fish tank then you should take the adult fish out or else it may eat the eggs. After the egg hatches, it turns into a fry,(this is what a baby goldfish is called) Once they hatch, they will stay attached to the plants for two days, after that, you should start to feed them. Once they are not fry anymore, they turn into adult goldfish. If you take care of them properly, they could last up to 15 years! Once the fish are complete adults, they can lay eggs. The females rub up against plants and lays eggs while the male Goldfish sprays the eggs to make them fertilize and turn into fry.
