Under certain conditions, cytochrome c can trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death, by activating cytosolic proteins known a

s caspases.
(a) Why doesn’t cytochrome c trigger apoptosis in healthy cells?
(b) What must happen in order for cytochrome c to activate the caspases

Answer:

A) Cytochrome C reduction in healthy cells B) Cytochrome cause the oligomerization of APAF1 that cause the activation of Caspase-9, which activates the Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 that ultimately lead to apoptosis.

Explanation:

Apoptosis is the programmed cell death which is performed to get rid of unnecessary and damaged cells through biochemical changes in higher animals. In apoptosis the cell shrinks, cytoskeleton collapse, nuclear membrane disassemble and DNA break into fragments.

a) Cytochrome C is present in intermembranel spaces of mitochondaria and the heme group of cytochrome C accepts electrons from Complex bc1 and transferr to complex IV.<em> Thus as the healthy cells requires proper energy to perform its regular functions the cytochrome keep reducing rapidly in it and this inhibit the cytochrome to initiate the apoptosis in healthy cell.</em>

B) Cytochrome C is released from mitochondria in apoptotic cell and it cause the oligomerization of the inactive Apoptosis protease activating factor-1. It form apoptosome complex with APAF1 that initiate and activate the caspases. These caspases are then involved in degradation of protein.

comparison of transfection agents in forming complexes with ferumoxides, cell labeling efficiency, and cellular viability
alukav5142 [94]

To identify, map, and evaluate the underlying biochemical processes of cell signaling, it is essential to visualize cells and cellular structures as well as track and modify nucleic acids and proteins in living cells.

<h3>How cell labeling of mammalian cells done?</h3>
  • Mammalian cells can be magnetically labeled by combining ferumoxides or superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) with transfection agents (TAs).
  • The effectiveness and survivability of cell labeling with TAs complexed to SPIO have not been systematically compared. This study examines the toxicity and labeling effectiveness of FEs complexed to various TAs in mammalian cells at various doses.
  • TAs from several classes, including lipid-based substances, dendrimers, and polycationic amines, were employed.
  • TAs at concentrations ranging from 1 to 50 microg/mL in incubation media were used to measure the cellular toxicity. Combining varying doses of TAs with various amounts of FEs allowed researchers to calculate the iron incorporation efficiency.

What is fermentation? Select all that apply.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option One

Option Three

Option Four

Explanation:

Fermentation is the process of breaking down substances different types of bacteria or microorganisms will producing heat, this process can also be completed without the usage of oxygen. Finally, fermentation is used to create alcohol like wine or beer which is considered wastes to the body. Therefore options one, three, and four are your answers or "process that breaks down larger molecules  into smaller molecules, energy for the body process that does not rely on the presence of  oxygen, and process that creates waste products."

Hope this helps.
