What did sutherland discover about glycogen metabolism in liver cells?

Biology

Answer:

The hormone epinephrine binds to a specific receptor on the plasma membrane of the liver cell.

Explanation:

Glycogen is the body's rapid energy supply, which is how glucose, the main energy source of cells - derived from carbohydrate consumption - is stored. Glycogen is found mainly in muscle (muscle glycogen) and liver (liver glycogen), where liver cells are found.  Glycogen is important for the production of ATP in muscle cells and most other cell types.

Based on this information, researcher Earl Wilbur Sutherland Jr. decided to conduct a study to find out what were the effects of epinephrine during glycogen metabolism on liver cells. In this study, the researcher concluded that during the process of glycogen decomposition into glucose, the epinephrine hormone binds to a specific receptor on the liver cell plasma membrane.

What is the equation used to measure liquid pressure?​
klasskru [66]

Set up the equation.

Since gravity and liquid densities are fixed (for the most part), the height of the liquid is the largest variable in the equation. The equation reads as Pfluid = ρgh, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the height of the liquid (or depth of the fluid)

Evolution can be guided by random processes. What is the effect called when some genotypes are lost in a small population over t
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is defined as the random change in allelic frequencies from one generation to the other.

Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism in which the allelic frequencies in a population change through many generations. Its effects are harder in a small-sized population, meaning that this effect is inversely proportional to the population size. Genetic drift results in some alleles loss, even those that are beneficial for the population, and the fixation of some other alleles by an increase in their frequencies. The final consequence is to <u>randomly</u> fixate one of the alleles. Low-frequency alleles are the most likely to be lost. Genetic drift results in a loss of genetic variability within a population.  

Genetic drift has important effects on a population when this last one reduces its size dramatically because of a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.
