Insulin and glucagon are the hormones that cause blood glucose (blood sugar) preserved in a narrow range. The pancreas serves as the central part of this process. Secreted by the pancreas are both insulin and glucagon. Determined by the production of insulin and glucagon, people can find out whether someone may have diabetes, <span> hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, etc. Insulin or glucose can be prescribed to victims of those listed issues, it is mostly used to balance out the level of glucagon and insulin to try to stop the problem.</span>

A strain of bacteria has a CRISPR-Cas system, but a mutation has destroyed the function of the Cas9 gene. How will the strain of
bogdanovich [222]

If mutation destroys the function of the Cas9 gene then the bacteria will not be able to target a specific bacteriophage for destruction upon infection for the second time.

<h3>What is the Cas9 gene?</h3>
  • Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton protein that plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.
  • Its main function is to cut DNA and thereby alter a cell's genome.
  • Although Cas9 is an endonuclease and is evolved as a mechanism of immunity against viruses, they are not considered restriction enzymes.

How would homeostasis be affected if the cardiac muscle stopped contracting?
vodka [1.7K]

The heart is a muscle, therefore, if the cardiac muscles stopped contracting, the result would be the ceasing of heart function. That would lead to death, as blood wouldn't be pumped throughout the body. Homeostasis would therefore be interrupted.

The enzyme will be transported to either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria to perform the functions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which a living cell burns nutrients like glucose, fats, or even proteins to produce energy molecules namely ATP to perform its daily works. This cellular respiration, which is mainly aerobic, takes place both in cytoplasm and mitochondria.

The glycolysis part of the cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. The enzymes that take part in the glycolysis cycle reaches to cytoplasm from ribosome to perform.

But both the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport chain take place in mitochondria. Kreb's Cycle takes place in mitochondria matrix and ETC takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane. Although ETC isn't a enzymatic process, Kreb's Cycle is fully enzymatic and the enzymes reaches from ribosomes inside mitochondria by transporters.
