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:
1. Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during
glycolysis.
2. 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.)
a. Cytoplasm only, ER --> cytoplasm, ER --> Golgi --> outside cell, cytoplasm --> ER --> outside cell, Golgi --> ER --> outside cell, cytoplasm --> Golgi --> outside cell, nucleus --> cytoplasm, ER --> Golgi --> cytoplasm
b. Protein Targeting Pathway
c. PFK _______________
d. Insulin _______________

Answer:

PFK (protein): cytoplasm only (targeting pathway)

Insulin (protein): ER->Golgi->outside cell

Explanation:

Translation can be described as the mechanism by which a protein is produced through a mRNA.

If a particular protein is to function inside the same cell, then it doesn't need to get any modification so that it can travel outside the cell. Such type of proteins are translated on free cytoplasmic ribosomes and are released directly into the cytoplasm to perform their function. For example, PFK protein.

If a protein has to function outside the cell where it is produced, then it has to be modified. Such type or proteins are translated on the rough ER.  They are then modified in the Golgi complex and then transported outside the cell to the area where they have to function. For example, insulin.

Hypertension is most commonly known as high blood pressure, which is condition where the blood in a persons arteries are abnormally high. high blood pressure/hypertension can be lowered by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. this means that you must exercise regularly and eat well, which tells us that option B and D are incorrect. hypertension is also known to cause heart attacks if it is left untreated for long periods of time and can occur if you are being treated for heart disease, but heart disease is usually never the cause of hypertension. since we have determined that option C is also incorrect,, we a left with option A as the correct answer to this question. having hypertension can be genetic, so if you have two parents who are genetically prone to this condition you are more likely to have it.
let me know if you have any further questions

Which two factors have likely influenced global temperatures the most?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

B: volcanic activity

D: fossil fuel consumption

Explanation:

Fossil fuel consumption and volcanic activity are the two factors that has a great influenced on the global temperatures. Fossil fuel consumption is a human activity and volcanic activity both releases carbondioxide gas while burning. This carbondioxide gas is a greenhouse gas which block the reflected solar radiation and leads to increase in the surface temperature of the earth.
