In the biological context of organisms' production of gene products, downregulation is the process by which a cell decreases the quantity of a cellular component, such as RNA or protein, in response to an external stimulus. The complementary process that involves increases of such components is called upregulation.

In two or more complete sentences, compare species diversity and genetic diversity, and glve an example for each one.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Diversity in the genetic characteristic or traits present in a species throughout populations of particular species called genetic diversity. Genetic diversity deals with the number of alleles and genes found between individuals. It is responsible for the adaptation and distribution of species.

Species Diversity is the relative abundance of species found in a given biological organization in a community and interacts with biodiversity by changing biotic factors.

Glucagon is a hormone that is released when the level of glucose in the blood is low. Glucagon uses a G protein signaling pathwa
allsm [11]

NOTE: the steps of the signal transduction pathway to be arranged is in the attached file.

Answer:

The correct signal transduction pathway in order from the releasing of glucagon into the blood to the promotion of glycogenolysis includes:

- Glucagon binds extracellulary to G- protein coupled receptor.

-G protein releases GDP and binds FTP

-Activated G protein activates adenylate (adenylate) cyclase.

-Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP.

-Cyclic AMP activates protein kinase A

- phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates glucogen phosphorylase, an enzyme needed for glycogenolysis.

Explanation:

As carbohydrates from food consumed is digested, it's end product, the glucose, is assimilated into the cells for energy production through the help of insulin in a process called glycolysis. Excess of glucose is stored in the liver as GLYCOGEN.

In cases where there is reduced sugar in the blood (hypoglycemic state) another pathway (known as glycogenolysis through

GLUCAGON hormone) is initiated to elevate the concentration of glucose in the blood.

Nucleotides can be radiolabeled before they are incorporated into newly synthesized DNA and, therefore, can be assayed to track
adoni [48]

Answer:

e. infection causes lymphocytes to divide more rapidly

Explanation:

The cell cycle includes interphase and M phase which in turn together produce daughter cells from the existing parent cells. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase to ensure that the daughter cells obtain the identical DNA present in the parent cell.

Lymphocytes are one of the types of white blood cells and are involved in cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune responses. These cells are present in the blood as well as in lymphatic tissues. During the given experiment, lymphocytes exhibited a higher rate of incorporation of labeled nucleotide after the introduction of a pathogen in the culture. This suggests that the introduction of pathogen triggered the cell division in lymphocytes to produce more lymphocytes to fight the infection.

Although amino acids have "acid" in their name, some are acidic in water solutions, some are basic, and other are neutral. Propo
Ad libitum [116K]
The pH of an amino acid is determined by the nature of the side chains of that amino acid. If the side chain of an amino acid contains amine functional group the amino acid will be basic. The acidic amino acids are acidic because they have carboxylic acid functional groups at their side chain.
