Answer: 26 chromosomes.
The diploid number is the number of chromosomes required for two
sets of copies of the organism’s genome ( this is the number of chromosomes in the cells except gametic cells). The organism's genome is represented as n, and the diploid number,as 2n (2 x 13= 26).
Answer:
C. Liquid molecules and atoms are able to slip around each other and fill in gaps between them.
Explanation:
The liquid is a state of matter that has no definite shape. In fact, it can adapt to the shape of its container. This is because of the reason that molecules in the liquid phase have high kinetic energy and weak binding forces. The high energy keeps them moving freely and thus can take the shape of it its container. On the other hand, in solids, the binding forces are stronger and molecules have very little energy to move freely.
Example: If we melt a solid, the molecules initially have less energy. However, when we heat them, they gain energy and start moving. Upon further heating, they will have enough energy to break the bondings and move around. This is why the solid structure will change to the liquid.
The two types of cell transportation are as follows: active transportation, where energy is used, and passive transportation, where no energy is used
Answer:
binding regulatory subunits and inducing their release from the catalytic subunits
Explanation:
cAMP molecules diffuse into the cytoplasm where they bind to an allosteric site on a regulatory subunit of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase ( protein kinase A, PKA).
-In its inactive form, PKA is a heterotetramer comprised of two subunits namely, regulatory (R) and two catalytic (C) subunits.
-The regulatory subunits normally inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. cAMP binding causes the dissociation of the regulatory subunits, thereby releasing the active catalytic subunits of PKA.
-cAMP stimulates glucose mobilization by activating a protein kinase that adds a phosphate group onto a specific serine residue of the glycogen phosphorylase polypeptide.
