You create double mutant cells with the permanently active PK1 and an inactivated PK2. You find the cells still respond even whe
postnew [5]
<h2>Kinase cascade </h2>

Explanation:

Normally, PK2 activates PK1

  • PK1 and PK2 normally work sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway
  • If PK1 is permanently activated, a response is seen independently of whether or not PK2 is present
  • If PK1 activated PK2, no response should be seen if PK1 were activated in the absence of PK2
  • PK2 normally needs to activate PK1 for the cells to respond to the signal
  • When PK2 is permanently activated in the absence of PK1, PK1 is not there to relay the signal

Answer:

1. Homeostasis

2. Organ system

3.The bones of the skeletal system serve to protect the body's organs, support the weight of the body, and give the body shape. The muscles of the muscular system attach to these bones, pulling on them to allow for movement of the body.

4.The nervous and endocrine systems are two forms of communication system in the human body that integrate, coordinate and respond to sensory information which is received by the human body from its surroundings

5.The skin functions by protecting the body from basic elements of nature such as water, UV sunlight and wind. ... However, skin in integumentary system acts by maintaining the internal conditions that is required by the body while it is excretory system because it secretes a fluid waste called sweat or perspiration.

6.In order to survive, cells must satisfy some basic needs such as oxygen, water, nutrients, waste removal, and maintaining of homeostasis. Oxygen and nutrients are necessary for different processes inside the cell. For instance, cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to form energy in the form of ATP.Water is important for different chemical reactions, as well. Also, the result of different processes, waste is produced and it is important to remove it from the cell. Finally, it is important that cell and whole body conditions do not vary so much and that homeostasis is maintained.

7.Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

8.  the body is not in homeostasis from 7 to 10 hours. Explanation: The given graph shows homeostasis in terms of body temperature. The normal body temperature, that is 37 degrees C is maintained from 1 to around 6:45 hours.

9.There are several reasons why the body temperature falls continuously just like when you are exposed to an extreme cold weather or wearing wet clothing for a long time. This abnormality state of the body temperature can lead into some potential diseases and disorders like infection, insomnia, stress and sepsis

10.Sweating also hydrates your skin and maintains the balance of electrolytes in your body. The fluid you sweat comprises mainly salt and water. Excessive sweating can cause dehydration since you lose a large amount of water. The technical term for excessive sweating is hyperhidrosis.
