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.

1. A mutation of a human gene blocks harmful viruses from infecting cells. How can the mutation be classified?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

It is a beneficial mutation.

Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.

According to the cell theory, which describes cells?
zysi [14]

Answer: D. All living cells come from other living cells.

Explanation:

A is incorrect because organisms like bacteria and amoebas are unicellular, or have 1 cell.

B is incorrect because cells are specialized: nerve cells and muscle cells do not share the same function.

C is incorrect because inanimate objects are not alive and do not have cells.

D is correct because cells reproduce by mitosis, creating copies of themselves.
