Answer:

I believe the correct answer is homeostasis. When your blood sugar is too high, your pancreas secretes insulin. When your blood sugar is too low, your pancreas secretes glucagon to regulate it.

What would be most likely to happen if some of the proteins in one of the photosystem were to change shape due to a rise in cell
Sever21 [200]

Answer;

C. A decrease in the formation of ATP

Explanation;

-During the first stage of photosynthesis NADPH is created. It involves two set of molecules, that is photosystem I and photosystem II, which absorb sunlight, then convert it to chemical energy, and transfer it to electrons.

-Outside factors may cause the plant's pH level to drop during photosynthesis. When this happens, the shape of the proteins may be altered within the two photosystems and cause a decrease in the formation of NADPH, thus adversely affecting efficient photosynthesis, and cause a decrease in the formation of ATP.

How does cancer affect the cell cycle? What is done differently in the cell cycle?
valentinak56 [21]

Cancer cells affect the cell cycle by not following the checkpoints and dividing abnormally and not getting destroyed by the process of apoptosis leading to the formation of tumours.

In the cell cycle during the mitotic phase the cell divides resulting in two daughter cells and segregation of DNA occurs in this. In cell cycle, there are checkpoints of signalling pathways which determine when the cell has to grow and divide. The healthy cells follow the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Cancer cells become immortal and result in faulty proteins which are not required by the system. The cancer cells grow uncontrollably and are abnormally shaped.

The cell cycle has check points at S phase and G2 phase before it enters the Mitotic phase of division. Normal cells follow the checkpoints.
