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

Biology
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Answer:

<u><em>They take nutrients needed by healthy cells, and as they grow they interfere with the function of normal cells and organs.</em></u>

Explanation:

Many mutations can lead to the formation of cancer. Cancer can be described as an abnormal type of cell division of the cells of the body. As cancer cells are the cells of the body dividing abnormally, the immune cells fail to fight them. These cells keep on dividing and also disturb the functioning of the neighbouring cells and tissues. They even take up most of the nutrients required by normal body cells hence, being very toxic for the normal cells.

Corals form symbiotic relationships with microscopic photosynthetic algae that live in their cells and give the corals their dis
12345 [234]

Answer and Explanation:

Corals are translucid or white, but they look brightly colored because they host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments . They can host different organisms that live on and among them, giving place to an amazing ecosystem.    

One of these organisms is the photosynthetic unicellular microalgae, called zooxanteles, that are colorful and provide nutrients to the coral.  

Corals provide shelter and protection to the algae, while algae provide nitrogenated nutrients, sugars, and color to the corals. Algae can store nitrogen in their tissues as nitrogen-rich crystals, which are constantly provided to corals.

This symbiotic relation allows corals to grow in different environments that are poor in nitrogen or other nutrients, such as the tropical clear waters.

When changes in radiation, temperature, or salinity in water occur, corals react to these changes losing these algae and becoming translucid again.
