1 answer:

4 0

ADVANTAGES
1. Biotechnologically produced insulin is indistinguishable from human insulin produced in the pancreas and therefore, is less likely to cause allergic reactions in diabetics.
2. Large quantities of insulin can be produced at the same time.

DISADVANTAGES
1. Some diabetics complain of an increase in episodes of hypoglycemic complications 5.
2. The production cost tends to be high.

Answer:

b. to amplify the signal

Explanation:

A multi-enzyme phosphorylation cascade is a series of signaling events where one enzyme phosphorylates to another, then this last enzyme acts to phosphorylate another protein and so successively, thereby triggering a chain reaction that leads to the phosphorylation of hundreds or even thousands of proteins. A multi-enzyme phosphorylation cascade is known to increase the number of activated (phosphorylated) proteins at each step of the signaling cascade. Phosphorylation is a posttranslational modification capable of activating proteins during long periods, thereby a phosphorylation cascade also enables the activation of multiple proteins before these proteins become inactive again.
