Answer:

All the above participate in the ammonia excretion

Explanation:

The amino groups present in the amino acids are required to form the urea. The ammonia disposal takes place un the liver by the urea formation and is excreted in the kidneys by urine. When free ammonia is produced in peripheral tissues, it is transported to the liver by glucose -alanine cycle, alanine in transported in the blood to the liver, where is converted into pyruvate.  

Another pathway is by glutamine synthase/glutaminase system. The storage and transport of ammonia to the liver is glutamine from glutamate by glutamine synthetase: NH3 + glutamate → glutamine once in the liver glutamine is transformed into glutamate again by glutaminase enzyme: glutamine → NH3 + glutamate.

In the liver takes place the urea cycle, the amino acids transported into the liver can be converted to aspartate. This aspartate enters the urea cycle forming an intermediate of the cycle, and the final product is urea that is excreted by urine.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The inactivation of one protein that slow down the cell cycle could lead to cancer. (option b).

Explanation:

The cell cycle is the process a cell undergoes when it divides during its life. This process includes a control mechanism to prevent normal cells from replicating more than normal, called cell cycle regulation.

In oncogenesis - the formation of malignant tumours - many factors induce the abnormal growth of a tissue by the abnormal multiplication of the cells that form it, leading to cancer. One of these factors may be a mutation in the DNA that prevents the production of regulatory proteins.

The mutation that produces exaggerated cell growth -and which can eventually lead to cancer- can create defects in a specific regulatory protein that slow down the cell cycle, so that exaggerated and uncontrolled cell replication occurs.

Once a tumor tissue has formed, successive mutations will lead to a lack of cell differentiation, the property of forming blood vessels, the ability to invade tissue and lose its apoptosis mechanism, that characterizes cancer cells.

How do ocean temperatures affect local weather?
Gnom [1K]
Oceans bring warm water to distant shores. Ocean temperatures and winds are coupled into a complex interactive system. Varying ocean temperatures affect local atmospheric pressure, which creates regional wind patterns that, in turn, drive oceanic currents that affect surface ocean temperatures.
