<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
Iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum of small intestine
- At physiological pH ferrous iron is rapidly oxidized to the insoluble ferric form
- Gastric acid lowers the pH in the duodenum which enhances the solubility and uptake of ferric iron
- Once iron gets inside the enterocyte it can be stored as ferritin;Ferritin is a hollow spherical protein which helps in storage and regulation of iron levels within the body
- Ferritin molecule have ferroxidase activity which helps in the mobility of Fe2+ out of the enterocyte by ferroportin
- Transferrin is the major iron transport protein which transports iron through blood
- Fe3+ binds to transferrin so Fe2+ transported through ferroportin must be oxidized to Fe3+
- Fe2+ needs to be oxidized first so that it can be transported through ferroportin
- Once iron gets inside the cell it can be used for various cellular processes
For much of the last quarter century, the leading theory of the driving force behind tectonic plate motions envisaged large scale convection currents in the upper mantle, which can be transmitted through the asthenosphere. So letter C. is the Answer.
Insect immunity doesn't include the property of an enzyme activation of pathogen-killing chemicals.
What is enzyme activation of pathogen?
Due to various trehalose's importance in pathogenic organisms, there has lately been a surge of interest in trehalose metabolism for therapeutic applications.
- TPP (trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase) is an important enzyme in the most important biosynthetic pathway (OtsAB).
- The enzyme properties of recombinant TPPs from five key nematode and bacterial pathogens, including three new members of this protein family, are compared here.
- The kinetics of trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolysis demonstrate that all five enzymes exhibit burst-like kinetic behaviour, defined by a drop in enzymatic rate beyond the pre-steady state.
- Multiple global conformational changes in members of this enzyme family during substrate processing can explain the observed super-stoichiometric burst amplitudes.
Hence, the correct answer is option A
