We need carrier proteins for steroid hormones because they help in the transportation from the cell they were released from to their target cell.
let me know if you have any further questions
:)
Answer:
1. Inhibiting IP3 channels, leading to decreased Ca2 in the sarcoplasm and reduced contraction.
2. Increasing the relative activity of MLCP, leading to a decrease in tension.
3. Activating K channels, increasing K leaking out of the cell which hyperpolarizes it and decreases the likelihood of Ca2 entry.
Explanation
In smooth muscle, cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates relaxation because cAMP inhibits a specific kinase required for myosin light chain protein (MLCP) phosphorylation, thereby triggering contraction in the smooth muscles. It has been shown that cAMP inhibits 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-dependent calcium ions (Ca 2+) release by activation of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). PKG proteins act to modulate Ca2+ oscillations by stimulating sarcoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase membrane proteins, increasing Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum stores and Ca2+ efflux from the cells, and activate voltage-gated potassium (K) channels, thereby leading to membrane hyperpolarization and reducing Ca2+ entry through Ca2+ channels.
Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death.
Answer:
c. mitochondrion, virus, hemoglobin, glucose, water molecule
Explanation:
The mitochondrion is a membrane which is found in cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is also known as power house of cells. This is largest from virus, hemoglobin, water molecule and glucose.
Virus is second largest and is small infectious agent. It has capability to infect many organisms and living cells. Hemoglobin is protein which is present in red blood cells. Glucose is a type of sugar presence in the blood. Water molecule is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and is smallest among the others.
