Answer:

Glut4 is only expressed in insulin-sensitive skeletal an heart muscles and fat tissues.  

Explanation:

Glucose transporters represent a group of integral membrane proteins that allow the transport of glucose molecules across the plasma membrane by the mechanism of facilitated diffusion (i.e., without direct coupling to ATP hydrolysis). In humans, the Glucose Transporter type 4 (GLUT-4) is a glucose transporter encoded by the SLC2A4 gene. This protein plays a critical role in regulating glucose homeostasis by enabling to increase the transport of glucose in response to elevated blood insulin levels in adipocytes, skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues.

Which of the following would be an example of osmosis?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane into the water. Another good example of osmosis would be dipping a sponge into water, because there is a higher concentration outside, so the water goes in and makes the sponge expand

What is the phenomenon called when one gene pair interacts with a second pair to control its expression by either suppressing or
Nastasia [14]

Epistasis is the phenomenon where one pair of gene interacts with a second pair to control its expression by masking, suppressing or modifying it. <span>The term meant that a different gene masks the phenotypic effect of another gene. Moreover, epistasis has a large influence on the evolution of phenotypic traits. </span>
