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.

Which part of a green plant makes most of the plants food?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Leaves are the site of the food making process called photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll (the green pigment) and light energy are changed into glucose which is sugar. This energy rich sugar is the source of food used by most plants.

Please place the following vessels in the correct order to represent the arterial circulation leading up to the glomerulus.
Ymorist [56]

The following vessels are connected as below:

aorta ->renal arteries ->segmental arteries ->interlobular arteries ->arcuate arteries ->cortical radiata ->afferent arteries ->glomerulus.

1) aorta : arises from heart which carry blood from heart to the rest of the body

2) renal artery :it arises from the aorta which carry blood to kidney .it carry unfiltered blood .

3)segmental arteries : it arises from renal artery .it has  5 branches or segments.

4)interlobular arteries : it arises from segmental arteries. the interlobular arteries pass directly outward between the medullary rays to reach the fibrous tunic ,where they end in the capillary network of this part.

5)Arcuate arteries: it arises from interlobular arteries .it is also known as arciform arteries, are vessels of the renal circulation. they are located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.

6) cortical radiata: it arises  from arcuate arteries.

7) afferent arteries: it arises from interlobular arteries and also connects to glomerulus. they are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems .they play a important role in regulation of blood vessels.

8) glomerulus : it connects from afferent arteries.it is the filtering unit of kidney ,is a specialised bundle of capillaries that are uniquely situated between two resistance vessels.

Disclaimer: the given question is incomplete means it contains incomplete data .the correct question is given below.

Question: Please Place The Following Vessels In The Correct Order To Represent The Arterial Circulation Leading Up To The Glomerulus. Aorta Interlobar Artery Segmental Artery Afferent Arteriole Cortical Radiate Renal Artery Arcuate Artery Glomerulus

Construct a concept map that shows how a population of bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics.
Vsevolod [243]

The attached picture shows how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance. Firstly, a few individuals attain a beneficial mutation in their genetic material that accords them the capability to survive in an antibiotic. The individuals are hence able to survive and reproduce more than those individuals without the mutation. There is, therefore, a genetic shift in the population in favor of the resistant genotype. After generations, the whole population becomes antibiotic resistant.
