A number of systems for pumping ions across membranes are powered by ATP. Such ATP-powered pumps are often called ATPases, altho

ugh they don't often hydrolyze ATP unless they are simultaneously transporting ions. Because small increases in calcium ions in the cytosol can trigger a number of different intracellular reactions, cells keep the cytosolic calcium concentration quite low under normal conditions, using ATP-powered calcium pumps. For example, muscle cells transport calcium from the cytosol into the membranous system called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). If a resting muscle cell's cytosol has a free calcium ion concentration of 10-7 while the concentration in the SR is 10-2, then how is the ATPase acting?
A. ATPase activity must be powering an inflow of calcium from the outside of the cell into the SR.
B. ATPase activity must be transferring Pi to the SR to enable this to occur.
C. ATPase activity must be pumping calcium from the cytosol to the SR against the concentration gradient.
D. ATPase activity must be opening a channel for the calcium ions to diffuse back into the SR along the concentration gradient.
E. ATPase activity must be routing calcium ions from the SR to the cytosol, and then to the cell's environment.

Answer:

The correct answer is C   ATPase  activity must be pumping calcium from Cytosol to the sarcoplasmic reticulam(SR) against their concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The concentration of Ca2+ ion in Sarcoplasmic reticulam of muscle is many times higher than that of Cytosol.

      Sarcoplasmic reticulam of muscle is a reservior of calcium ion (Ca2+) ions and after the occurance of muscle contraction Ca2+ are transported from low calcium concentration region that is cytosol to high calcium concentration region that is Sarcoplasmic reticulam through active transport by the help of ATPase enzyme.

Describe the strength of the magnetic field at points a b and c in the image below. Explain your answers in the terms of magneti
Nastasia [14]

The magnetic fields are strongest at point A and weakest at point C. The magnetic field lines can be used to indicate the strength of a magnet or magnetic field. The closer together the magnetic field lines the stronger the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic field line also shows the direction of the magnetic field, hence they are also considered vector fields because they have magnitude and direction. They usually have an arrow indicating that the field lines are moving from the north pole to the south pole. The lines also never cross and are always in closed loops.

Describe the steps in transcription that require complementary base pairing.
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription takes place in nucleus in the presence of the enzyme RNA polymerase.

During transcription, the code present in DNA gets transcribed into the code in mRNA.  (messenger RNA)

RNA even though is a single stranded shows base pairing.

The pre-mRNA gets created from the DNA.

DNA has two strands, one of these strands acts as coding and another non coding strand.

The DNA shows base pairing with AGTC.   [A-Adenine, G- Guanine, T-Thymine and C- Cytosine]

Whereas mRNA base pairing with AGUC.  [ U- Uracil ]

Here in mRNA, instead of thymine, uracil gets paired.

According to base pairing of coding strand/sense strand of DNA, complementary bases pairs in 5'---->3' direction in mRNA.

The mRNA created looks exactly like the non-coding strand/sense strand of DNA except instead of thymine, uracil gets replaced.

The pre-RNA undergoes splicing, capping and tailing to form mature mRNA.
