The cell is taking in substances through membrane proteins, without any energy expenditure of its own. The substances naturally

follow their concentration gradient. However, they must go through the protein channels, because they are too large to squeeze through the cell membrane. This process is called A) osmosis. B) endocytosis. C) active transport. D) facilitated diffusion.

You are an expert paleontologist reviewing the work of Professor Bonefinder, who recently discovered the remains of a primate fo
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The professor Bonefinder has made a mistake.

Explanation:

I't is true the Hominoid had a long snout, a large orbits that are partially enclosed, but they have no tail. This point is really critical because the morphology of an species is really important. The taxonomists use the information that morphology gave for many years to identify species, nowadays with molecular techniques some of those species are pulled apart, but the important matter is that hominoids had no tail.

So the professor Bonefinder analysis is incorrect because the hominoids have no tail.

Identify the true statements regarding liver glycogen phosphorylase a. Protein phosphatase 1 is abbreviated PP1. The binding of
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Liver phosphorylase a concentration decreases when glucose enters the blood.

The binding of glucose to liver phosphorylase a shifts the equilibrium from the active form

As the concentration of phosphorylase a decreases, the activity of glycogen synthase increases. to the inactive form

Explanation:

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a phosphatase enzyme known to remove phosphate groups from serine/threonine amino acid residues. PP1 plays diverse biological roles including, among others, cell progression, control of glucose metabolism, muscle contraction, etc. In glucose metabolism, PP1 regulates diverse glycogen metabolizing enzymes (e.g., glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, etc). In the liver, glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glycogenolysis by releasing glucose-1-phosphate. Glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em> is converted (and inactivated) into the <em>b</em> form by PP1, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphate bond between serine and the phosphoryl group. In the liver, glucose binds in order to inhibit glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em>, thereby inducing the dissociation and activation of PP1 from glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em>.
