Which statement correctly distinguishes the roles of protein kinases and protein phosphatases in signal transduction pathways?

Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

A) Protein kinases activate enzymes by phosphorylating or adding phosphate groups to them. Protein phosphatases dephosphorylate or remove phosphate groups from enzymes, including protein kinases.

Explanation:

Protein kinases are enzymes that have the ability to modulate other enzymes (or some other proteins) by adding the phosphate group. This is known as phosphorilation process. As a result of structural change, protein can change its activity (phosphorilation usually increase the activity).

Phosphatases are enzymes with opposite function, they remove phosphate group from the protein causing different effect.

What occurs in the light independent reactions?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle), carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions.

Which of the following statements about the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is/are correct?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  • Liver cells are abundant in SER.  
  • The testes and ovaries are tissue types whose cells are abundant in SER.
  • Cholesterol is made in the SER.
  •  Phospholipids are synthesized from cytosolic water soluble precursor molecules.  

Explanation:

This is because liver cells contain enzymes that metabolize various lipid-soluble compounds.

This is because testes and ovaries produce steroid hormones (cholesterol is the precursor for their synthesis).

ER is the organelle at which all membrane lipids are synthesized.

Phospholipids are the main lipids that are the main structural components of the cell membrane. They are synthesized on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, from water-soluble cytosolic precursors.
