Tasting involves many different cell-signaling processes that ultimately generate nerve signals transduced by membrane depolariz

ation. Sweet tastes result in PIP2 hydrolysis, while salty tastes allow sodium ions to directly alter the membrane potential. What can you deduce about the signaling mechanisms for sweet and salty?

Answer:

We can deduce that:

1. Sodium ions directly enters the cells, indicating  the signal is transduced by an ion channel.

2. Sweet utilizes the GRCP signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Explanation:

IN SALTY, the Sodium ion passes through dynamic various chambers that can be located on the apical membrane  of the taste buds.

Sweet utilizes GRCP signaling pathway va activation of phospholipase C in order to produce IP3 and DAG.

i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from outside the cell.
This could include breaking-down material taken-in by phagocytes, which include many types of white blood cells - also known as leucocytes. Specific mechanisms of heterophagy can be:<span><span>phagocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular debris, bacteria or other particles - only occurs in certain specialized cells</span><span>pinocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular fluid</span><span>endocytic - by which cells take-up particles such as molecules that have become attached to the outer-surface of the cell membrane.</span></span></span><span><span>Recycle the products of biochemical reactions that have taken place following materials being brought into the cell by endocytosis (general term for this 'recycling' function: biosynthesis) </span>
Different materials (chemicals) are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be processed/degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.</span><span>Completely break-down cells that have died (autolysis)</span></span>

In general, the functions of lysosomes involve breaking-down i.e. processing to 'make safe' or make use of, or removing from the cell e.g. by exocytosis, useless and potentially harmful materials such as old worn-out parts of the cell or potential threats such bacteria. Lysosomes can therefore be thought of as the rubbish disposal units within cel

Which type of chemical bond holds the atoms together within a molecule of watermelon
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Water (H2O) can be called a molecule or a compound because it is made of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms. There are two main types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds.

(oxygen, electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, NADPH)
Vaselesa [24]

Hai there :3 I'm planning to study chemical engineering.

Question related to Biochemistry (Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration)

1. Chemiosmosis.  In the process of chemiosmosis, specific enzymes (such as ATP synthase) create ATP. Hydrogen ions go from a higher proton concentration to a lower one, which is why it's called chemio"osmosis"

2. Electron Transport Chain (ETC). The name says it all. Simply explained, electrons are transported and transferred in the mitochondrial membrane.

3. Oxygen. O2, the diatomic molecule, is essential in respiration. In the final stage of respiration, at the near end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts protons to become water. Cells use O2 during oxidative phosphorylation.

4. NADPH. I remember learning what this acronym means by heart. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen. NADPH is essential in photosynthesis as a typical coenzyme in the reduction of chemical reactions.
