The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well

as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. For example, consider these two proteins:
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis.
Insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells.
Assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.
For each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination.
(Note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)
Options:
a. Cytoplasm only, ER --> cytoplasm,
b. ER --> Golgi --> outside cell,
c. cytoplasm --> ER --> outside cell,
d. Golgi --> ER --> outside cell,
e. cytoplasm --> Golgi --> outside cell,
f. nucleus --> cytoplasm,
g. ER --> Golgi --> cytoplasm

Answer:

PFK: cytoplasm

insulin: ER--> Golgi--> outside cell

Explanation:

As described in the question, the enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) functions is a cells cytoplasm. Enzymes are proteins and proteins are made in the ribosomes of a cell. As ribosomes are present in the cytoplasm, hence PFK once made in the ribosomes will be released into the cytoplasm.

As for insulin, it will be made in the ribosomes. from there, it will move to the Endoplasmic Reticulum for packaging. Then to the Golgi complex for modifications and further packaging. Only after these stages, it will be ready to move out from where it is produces to areas where it has to be used.

Nina [5.8K]
The most likely hypothesis that you can derive base on the observation that the wash enzymes did not perform as expected is that  the wash enzymes's three dimensional structure of protein may have been altered. Altering its structure may cause the enzyme to perform differently as before even if it has the same physical feature.

In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell. How do the cells produced during meiosis differ from those produ
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The cells produced during mitosis are identical but cells produced in meiosis are different.

Explanation:

This is because in mitosis, there is no crossing over, but crossing over occur in meiosis. During crossing over, there is swapping of the genetic material.

What’s the role of the larynx
Tatiana [17]
The larynx is an organ in the top of the neck involved in breathing, producing sound and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. The larynx houses the vocal folds, and manipulates pitch and volume which is essential for Phonation. Hope this helps :)

The difference between an open and a closed circulatory system is...
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

In the closed circulatory system, blood is confined to a heart and blood vessels, whereas in an open system, hemolymph (blood) moves from a heart through vessels into interconnected spaces called a "hemocoel."

Explanation:

An open circulation the blood is not blood vessels, it instead is pumped into a cavity called Hemocoel.

A closed circulatory system, the blood is pumped through vessels SEPARATE from the interstitial fluid of the body.
