Which statement regarding Bax and Bak, two members of the Bcl-2 family, is true?

Biology
1 answer:
vampirchik [111]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option D When activated, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the outer membrane of mitochondria, leading to the release of cytochrome c.

Explanation:

The proapoptotic genes are involved in the process of apoptosis. The antiapoptotic gene prevents apoptosis that is cell death. The proapoptotic genes are bax, bak, bad and bid. The bcl family genes are antiapoptotic genes. The process involved activation of apoptosis inside the cell is called intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.

The activation proapoptotic genes, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the mitochondria outer membrane. These pores in the mitochondrial membrane allows the release of cytochrome-c that further attaches with Apaf-1. This leads to activation of caspase 9 that further activates caspase 3, thus inducing apoptosis.

Match the functional groups with their structures:
evablogger [386]
The true answer of your question is :

OH : HYDROXYL GROUP

NH2 : AMINO GROUP

CH3 : METHYL GROUP ( but in rather broader terms, that functional group of formula CnH2n+1 where n is an integer is called ALKYL GROUP where by substituting n by 1,2,3... we obtain methyl for n = 1, ethyl for n = 2, and propyl for n = 3 )

COOH : CARBOXYL GROUP is the correct answer since carbonyl is characterized by the presence of functional group C=O in general the formula of the compound would be
R-C=O-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl groups like methyl for example. However the carboxyl group could be thought of as a summation of carbonyl + hydroxyl ( CO + OH ) resulting thus in COOH.

I hope you’ll understand everything, anyway if not i’m always here to help. ♥️

Based on the weather map above, which statement is true based on the weather map?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

A warm front is moving towards South Carolina bringing rainy conditions

Explanation:

From this weather map, we can see that South Carolina will soon be under the influence of a warm front. The warm front is moving towards this state, and it is coming from southeastern direction, thus it has been formed over warm waters. Because it has been formed over warm waters, this front is warm and very moist which will result in lot of rainfall once it comes upon a natural barrier to cause condensation, and the Appalachian Mountains will do just that, thus South Carolina will receive a lot of rainfall.

Organelles such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum have membranes that compartmentalize reactions and other metabolic
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - they both have highly folded membranes.

Explanation:

Organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria have highly folded double membranes. This highly folded membrane provides the increased surface area in the organelle.

As the inner membrane of these organelles is the site for many chemical reactions the highly folded or layered membranes get more space for such reactions to occur due to increased surface area.
