Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?
follicle-stimulating hormone
prolactin
thyroid-stimulating hormone
growth hormone
Answer:
growth hormone
Explanation:
Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
Answer:
There are two pathways occur in the same cellular compartment, and, if both are on at the same time, a futile ATP hydrolysis cycle results. Using the same mechanism to turn them on/off or off/on is highly efficient.
- "Glycogen Phosphorylase" activity can be allosterically controlled ATP and G6P allosteric inhibitors, AMP allosteric activator as well as, controlled through covalent modification, phosphorylation and via hormones.
- Reaction Catalyzed by Glycogen Synthase:
The activity of glycogen synthase is subject to the same type of covalent modification as glycogen phosphorylase, however, the response is opposite. Glycogen Synthase is activated by G6P. It is also controlled via hormones.
Answer:
The correct answer is Multiple myeloma.
Explanation:
Multiple myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer caused by a malignant degeneration of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are part of the immune or immune system, responsible for dealing with infections and diseases of external origin. Plasma cells are normally found in the bone marrow, mixed with other cells of the immune system and with the cell-producing cells of the blood. When there is an infection, the B lymphocytes respond, become plasma cells or plasma cells and produce antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) that help the body fight infection. T lymphocytes respond with various transformations that allow them to directly attack infectious agents or help other types of cells defend the body.
Blood born pathogens refer to contaminants in body fluids
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
