RAS is a very important protein that belongs to a class of protein referred to as GTPases and plays a crucial role in switching on pathways that control cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation and migration. For RAS to become inactive it must hydrolyze GTP to GDP which slows down the process of cell proliferation. Mutation in one copies of RAS will result to cancer because the mutated copy will permanently attach to GTP and remain in activated form which will lead to uncontrollable cell division and hence development of cancer.
Answer:
The following disorders might be treated by using stem cell therapy:
Spinal injuries can be treated by the stem cell therapy. As the neurons can be replaced by healthy neurons and used to treat Parkinson's disease.
The insulin produced from the somatic cells are used to treat the diabetes.
The cancer can be treated by using stem cell therapy.
Any damaged organ or tissue can be replaced by the stem cell therapy.
Different genetic diseases can be cured by the use of stem cells.
Answer:
a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.
The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.
