Answer:
Glycogen synthase is phosphorylated at only one site.
Explanation:
Glycogen synthase has multiple sites where phosphorylation can occur. Glycogen synthase may have 9 or more sites where it can be phosphorylated as a result of which it's activity is down regulated. It simply means that the regulation of this enzyme does not occur through binary on/off switching, in fact it's activity is modulated over a wide range in response to various signals.
In contrast to glycogen phosphorylase which gets activated when it is phosphorylated at it's serine residues, glycogen synthase gets inactivated by phosphorylation.
As soon as another enzyme GSK3β phosphorylates glycogen synthase, it gets inactivated as a result of which glycogen synthesis halts in the liver.
Answer:
Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.
The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.
Answer: The answer is D.
Explanation: Because earthquakes take place in both the Convergent Plate in Location A and Transform Plate in Location B.
Answer:
Dominant: 20, Recessive: 20
Explanation:
The case shown in the question above explores simple Mendelian traits, since it shows a population where individuals of the same species present the dominant allele (R- red) and the recessive allele (r- white). We can project, then, that this population has an allele balance, where it is possible to find 20 red beans, which have the dominant allele and 20 white beans, which present the recessive allele.
