Which of the following is a correct statement about sugar movemetn in phloem?
Simora [160]

Answer:

a. movement can occur both upward and downward in the plant

Explanation:

The phloem loading causes the accumulation of sugars in the sieved elements generating a negative solute potential (quedas), with a drop in water potential (ψw), so water enters the sieved elements increasing the turgor pressure (ψp). With the discharge of phloem in the drain occurs lower concentration of sugars in the screened elements, increases the solute potential, becoming positive, thus the phloem water potential increases and thus the water leaves the conducting vessel. In the specific case of sugar movement in the phloem, it can be stated that this movement can occur both up and down in the plant.

1.) You are studying P120, a protein of 120 KDa that is continuously synthesized in eukaryotic cells. Its cellular concentration
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1. P120 is degraded in the 26S proteasome

2. The 26S proteasome has a major role in protein degradation and is critical for protein homeostasis

3. Cell cycle and DNA replication are cellular processes regulated by the Ras and NFkB pathways

Explanation:

The proliferation-associated nucleolar protein (p120) is a protein known to be expressed during the interphase of the cell cycle, specifically in G1 and early S phase, where any problem with DNA replication trigger a checkpoint, i.e., a molecular cascade of signaling events that suspend DNA replication until the problem is resolved. In mammalian cells, the 26S proteasome is responsible for catalyzing protein degradation of about 80% (or even more) of their proteins. The 26S proteasome acts to degrade rapidly misfolded and regulatory proteins involved in the cell cycle, thereby having a major role in protein homeostasis and in the control of cellular processes. It is for that reason that inhibitors that block 26S proteasome function have shown to be useful as therapeutic agents in diseases associated with the failure of protein degradation mechanisms (e.g., multiple myeloma). The NF-κB are highly conserved transcription factors capable of regulating different cellular processes including, among others, cellular growth, inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Moreover, the MAPK/ERK pathway is able to transduce different signals received on the cell surface to the nucleus. The MAPK/ERK pathway is activated when a singling molecule binds to a cell receptor which triggers a signaling cascade that ends when a transcription factor induces the expression of target genes, ultimately producing a response in the cell (for example, the progression through the cell cycle).

An excitatory signal is received at the dendrite of a pyramidal glutamate neuron. When the signal is released from the incoming
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Soma

Explanation:

Soma is the site at which the error of integrating an excitatory signal with other incoming signals occurred. Another name for Soma is perikaryon.

This signal integrates chemical encoding of signal transduction from all other incoming signals and this signal is not integrated properly with other incoming signals to that neuron.

Could receiving extra chromosomes happen to the tasmanian devil? Why or why not?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Yes, extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil.

Explanation:

Extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil due to tumor disease in the tasmanian devil. In the beginning the old genome of tasmanian devil has 13 chromosomes but with the tumor disease, it receives one extra chromosome and completed 14 chromosomes. Tumor occurs when the dead cells are not removed from the body and the new ones are formed.
