Free palmitate is activated to palmitoyl-CoA in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitochondria. If palmitate and [14

C]CoA are added to a liver homogenate, palmitoyl CoA isolated from cytosolic fraction is radioactive, but that isolated from the mitochondrial fraction is not. Explain.

<h2>Fatty acid oxidation </h2>

Explanation:

  • Activation of fatty acids (palmitate) occurs in the cytoplasm where fatty acids are activated to fatty acyl CoA, reaction catalysed by an enzyme called fatty acyl CoA synthetase
  • A specialized carnitine carrier system catalyze transportation of activated fatty acid from cytoplasm to matrix of mitochondria, where carnitine system consists of three proteins:
  • Carnitine acyl transferase I located in outer membrane of mitochondria catalyze transfer of carnitine to fatty acyl CoA and produce fatty acyl carnitine
  • Carnitine translocase facilitate passive diffusion of fatty acyl carnitine from inter membrane space to matrix located in inner membrane
  • Carnitine acyl transferase III located in inner mitochondrial membrane at matrix phase catalyze transfer of CoA to fatty acyl carnitine and regenerate fatty acyl CoA

Hence, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are thus kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondria

Jesse is studying a blood sample that has only antigen B on the red blood cells and antibody A and antibody Rh in the plasma. Wh
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: the bloodtype of Jesse is A Rhesus D positive

Explanation:

Antigens at present on the blood cells while antibodies are present in the serum. Thus, to prevent agglutination which occurs if the red blood cell antigen is similar to the antibody, the red blood cell of Jesse which has the B antigen will have the A antibodies produced. Thus, since the red blood cell determines the bloodtype of a person, Jesse therefore has the B bloodtype.

Ainat [17]

Tropical rainforest is a biome which  is warm and wet, with little seasonal variation in temperature and frequent precipitation.

<h3>What is a Biome?</h3>

This is referred to an environment which has features such as being greatly influenced by abiotic factors such as sunlight, water etc.

Tropical rainforest as the name implies has a large and frequent amount of precipitation thereby making it wet with little seasonal variation in temperature. It is also characterized by large trees which form canopies in the region.

Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes in terms of structures; list specific organelles which are present in each, as w
ozzi
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have a plasma membrane, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum in common. But, prokaryotes have cell walls, chloroplast, and larger vacuoles because they are plant cells and animals don't need chloroplast since they don't undergo photosynthesis and don't need to hold as much water in their vacuoles.
