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.

Why are lichens called soil formers
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Lichens are not parasitic when they grow on trees, they just use the tree bark as a home. They enrich the soil by trapping water, dust and silt. When lichens die they contribute organic matter to the soil, improving the soil so that other plants can grow there.

Hey there!

Here is a paraphrased version of the text:

Objects that are nonliving never had the qualities of life, and never will. Things that are dead did have an experience to have the qualities of life, but then they eventually die, they fail to keep some of the characteristics. So in science, dead is not an identical word to nonliving. A rock is nonliving, a fallen tree is dead, and a moose is living.

Note: While paraphrasing a text, a good thing to do is to think of as many synonyms of the words in the text as you can.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
