Pancreatic β cells release insulin from intracellular vesicles. This release is regulated in part by the activity of glucokinase

. How would insulin release be affected if pancreatic β cells were mutated to express hexokinase rather than glucokinase?

Answer:

Beta cells (β cells) are a type of cell found in pancreatic islets, synthesising and secreting insulin and amylin. Beta-cell mass and function diminish in patients with type I or type II diabetes, resulting in inadequate insulin secretion and hyperglycemia.

If hexokinase was expressed rather than glucokinase, the release of insulin from pancreatic β cells would be constant, and changes in serum glucose would not affect the expression of insuline.

Answer:

Point 3 for kinetic, points 1 and 5 for potential

Explanation:

There is one point that the ball has the most kinetic energy it is at point 3. Point 3 has the most kinetic energy because it has gained the most speed since it was dropped and it also is right before it starts slowing down from trying to go up again. Points 1 and 5 have the most potential energy. When the ball is at point 1 or 5 it is at its maximum height thus it cannot swing any further, so it stops for a split second and gains a large amount of potential energy before it is released into kinetic energy when it falls back down.

Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.

The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells. Inside, carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is subsequently hydrolyzed into bicarbonate (HCO3−) and H+. The H+ ion binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and bicarbonate is transported out of the red blood cells in exchange for a chloride ion. This is called the chloride shift.

Bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the blood plasma. In the lungs, bicarbonate is transported back into the red blood cells in exchange for chloride. The H+ dissociates from hemoglobin and combines with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid with the help of carbonic anhydrase, which further catalyzes the reaction to convert carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the lungs.
