A food is something that provides nutrients. Nutrients are substances that provide: energy for activity, growth, and all functions of the body such as breathing, digesting food, and keeping warm; materials for the growth and repair of the body, and for keeping the immune system healthy. (So we don’t die:))
Answer:
The cell would fail to function. It would likely fail to properly replicate DNA properly or transcribe genes.
Explanation:
The nucleus holds the genetic information, the DNA. If the nucleus does not grow properly, the DNA might not fit or be properly organized inside. This would mean DNA replication could not proceed as normal, and the DNA might not even be able to fit inside the nucleus!
The cell would also struggle to properly transcribe the DNA if the nucleus is not fully formed. DNA acts as a template for mRNA transcription, which directs protein synthesis. The cell will very quickly die if there are inaccuracies in protein synthesis due to mRNA not being adequately synthesized.
Testosterone is an example of a steroid. Its physiological functions include:
1. Determines the the gender of a developing embryo.
2. Development of reproductive organs and the prostrate gland in males.
3. Responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in males such as deeper pitch, increased muscle bulk, hair on the upper lip.
4. Regulates normal sperm development.
Another steroid is cholesterol. Physiological functions include:
1. Helps maintain the structure of cells and vessels improving overall health and function in the body.
2. Precursor to important sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
3. Used as an insulator around nerves and is absolutely essential for brain function.
4. Precursor to Vitamin D, which supports a healthy immune and nervous system
Answer:
3212
Explanation:
Transport vesicles are vesicles that function to carry molecules from one cellular compartment to another. The coat protein complexes I and II (COPI and COPII) are conserved pathways that transport proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Moreover, clathrin is a protein implicated in the formation of coated vesicles. The ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase activating (Arf GAP) proteins play a major role in Arf signaling pathways, which are responsible for uncoating of the COPI coat. On the other hand, COPII vesicles are known to retain their coats until they are recognized by tethering complexes, and whose formation is regulated by the GDP-GTP cycle of the small GTPase Sar1. Finally, the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) are chaperones which function as uncoating ATPases to remove clathrin from coated vesicles after endocytosis.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "Enzyme lowers the activation energy".
Explanation:
The activation energy is defined as the amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place. Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which speeds up the reaction and increases its rate. Enzymes put a substrate in its active site, which facilitates the reaction and makes more likely that it collides with its subsequent substrate.
