The fat in adipose cells is broken down into fatty acids. Which pathway is involved in this process?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>If the fat in adipose cells is broken down into fatty acids, the pathway involved in this process is called the catabolic pathway. Unlike anabolic pathways, which use a lot of energy to synthesize molecules, catabolic pathways are there to break down molecules into smaller units in order to release energy. </span>

How could the cell membrane then be important for homeostasis

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The cell membrane is an important factor for homeostasis to happen.

Explanation:

Because the cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents that passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell.

Which structure contains a cell nucleus

kvasek [131]

The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.

Researchers are studying the abnormal activity of kinases in relation to cancer. Theoretically, how might researchers use signal

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer is A.

Explanation:

Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.

I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
