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

The two chemical families to which most antipsychotic drugs belong are ____.​
Hatshy [7]

Out of the following given choices;

a.phenothiazines and butyrophenones<span>
b. tricyclics and MAOIs
c. nitrates and glucocorticoids
d. benzodiazepines and antihistamines</span>

The answer is a. butyrophenones work by inhibiting dopamine-mediated neuro-transmitters hence altering the normal thought pattern of its patients. They are more anti-dopamine (and less anti-adrenergic, anti-histaminic and anti-cholinergic) than phenothiazine but work in the same pharmacological way.

What happen to the brain and the brain cavity?
Gnoma [55]

Answer: OK so The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and located within the brain parenchyma. The ventricular system is composed of 2 lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, the cerebral aqueduct, and the fourth ventricle (see the images below).Survival in untreated hydrocephalus is poor. Approximately, 50% of the affected patients die before three years of age and approximately 80% die before reaching adulthood. Treatment markedly improves the outcome for hydrocephalus not associated with tumors, with 89% and 95% survival in two case studies

A good model of the cell membrane would be
mixer [17]

C. A wall of stones and mortar

This would act as a model describing the cell membrane.

Explanation;

A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

A cell membrane hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. It acts as a boundary between the inside environment and the outside environment of a cell.

It regulates the materials that enters and exits the cell; through selective movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Green algae are mostly aquatic, some some live in _________ areas on land
Vilka [71]
Algae live in bodies of water and damp places and are commonly found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Terrestrial algae mostly live in moist, tropical areas. They prefer wet places, because they do not have vascular tissues and the other necessary adaptations to survive on land.
