If the pinsulin receptor, a, example of an integral membrane protein, is cotranslationally inserted into the ER membrane with th
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

As the proteins are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, they amalgamate with the vesicles and then they are conducted towards the membrane's cell surface where they act as an integral membrane protein.  

The outer end will bind with the ligand and the other one will get attached towards the cytoplasm. Thus, the pinsulin in the given case will combine with the C terminus of the protein.

Under normal conditions glomerular filtration depends on three main pressures. What pressures is a pressure that favors the proc
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure .

Explanation:

The basic function of the kidney is the formation of urine for elimination through the urinary excretory system. Two different processes determine this formation: the filtration of fluid through the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's space and the modification of the volume and composition of the glomerular filtrate in the renal tubules.  The fluid passes from the glomerular capillaries to Bowman's capsule due to the existence of a pressure gradient between these two areas. This process is favored by two structural characteristics that make renal corpuscles particularly effective filtration membranes: glomerular capillaries have a much higher number of pores than other capillaries, and the efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole, causing greater resistance to outflow of blood flow from the glomerulus and increasing glomerular hydrostatic pressure. Increased glomerular hydrostatic pressure (due to increased blood flow through the glomerulus) increases filtration, while increases in Bowman's hydrostatic pressure or urinary space (which remains constant, unless there is disease at that level, usually due to fibrosis) and plasma P. oncotic (determined by proteins, which tend to "drag" plasma into the glomerulus) decrease filtering. Resulting in a filtering pressure of 10 mmHg.
