Distinguish between metabolism and homeostasis.

Biology
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Metabolism refers to chemical reactions that occur within the cells of living organisms -that involve the interaction of substrates, co-factors and enzymes to obtain a product- while homeostasis refers to the internal balance within the body.

Explanation:

<u>Metabolism</u> involves a series of processes that occur in order to obtain a result or product necessary for life. Exist chemical reactions that are part of various metabolic pathways, where chemical substances are transformed into others through the intervention of specific substrates and enzymes. In metabolism reactions can be :

  • Anabolic, when necessary molecules are constructed or synthesized, such as the biosynthesis of proteins from amino acids
  • Catabolic, when a substrate is broken down to obtain a product, such as glucose to produce energy (ATP) .

<u> </u><u>Homeostasis</u><u> </u>is the maintenance of the proportion of elements for the body to function properly. It is the equivalent of internal balance, which makes use of internal regulation mechanisms.

<em> A correct functioning of the metabolic reactions guarantees an adequate homeostasis, and the balance that is required for the organism to function properly, implies a regulation of the metabolic processes that occur.</em>

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.

Explanation:

In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.

A rapid mechanism is thought to govern the localization of AQP5 in response to changes in extracellular osmolarity. If this mech
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.
