What happens to the amount of matter through the cycling of matter?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Cycles of matter are called biogeochemical cycles, because they include both biotic and abiotic components and processes. Components that hold matter for short periods of time are called exchange pools, and components that hold matter for long periods of time are called reservoirs.

Glycogen is an important and quickly mobilized source of stored glucose. Glucose is mobilized for ATP generation in muscle in re

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Glucose mobilization would continue

Explanation:

The GTP-bound alpha subunit (Gαs) is a subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein which is required for stimulating the cAMP-dependent pathway through the activation of the membrane-associated enzyme adenylyl cyclase, which in turn catalyzes the synthesis of the second messenger cyclic-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from ATP. Moreover, cAMP phosphodiesterase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes cAMP, thereby negatively regulating the levels of this second messenger, which is fundamental for the termination of the signal. In this case, the epinephrine signal initiates glycogen breakdown (glucose mobilization) in muscle cells. In consequence, if the cAMP phosphodiesterase enzyme is inhibited, the concentration of cAMP will persist high even beyond the termination of the signal, thereby glucose mobilization would continue.

Proteins may be classified according to their three-dimensional shapes. Determine whether the following examples and description

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-often function as enzymes or transport proteins ⇒ globular proteins

-peptide chains arranged in long strands, or fibers ⇒ fibrous proteins

-peptide chains highly folded into spherical shapes ⇒ globular proteins

-keratins ⇒ fibrous proteins

-hemoglobin ⇒ globular proteins

-water-soluble ⇒ globular proteins

-collagens ⇒ fibrous proteins

-insoluble in water ⇒ fibrous proteins

-generally function in structure and support ⇒ fibrous proteins

Explanation:

Fibrous proteins are composed by large polypeptide chains which interact each other and form large structures. They have water insoluble and have structural and protection functions- they are components of cells and tissues. Examples are: collagen, fibronectin, keratin, elastin, actin.

Globular proteins have a spherical compact structure in which hydrophobic aminoacids are buried inside the structure and hydrophilic aminoacids (which can interact with water molecules) are exposed to the exterior medium. For this, they are water soluble. They have often transport and catalytic functions. For example: hemoglobin, mioglobin, albumin, enzymes in general.
