cose level to normal.

1 answer:
Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.

Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal

Which guinea pig parent(s) in Punnett Square B is homozygous? Which is heterozygous? Explain how you know.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
You did not provide an image for me, but I can explain.

Homozygous, with the root homo, means same. Therefore, a guinea pig parent with homozygous traits would have the traits being the same - either both recessive or both dominant, ie TT, tt.

Heterozygous on the other hand means different, therefore the traits would be one dominant and one recessive - for example, Tt.

If for the punnet square it has different traits (Combo RB for red and black or combo RW red white for like fur color) than heterozygous would be any that isn’t like TT or tt or any other letters used.

Hope this helps!

Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer the terminal phosphate from ATP to an amino acid residue on the target protein. Many a
8_murik_8 [283]

Protein kinases are located on the plasma membrane as integral or peripheral membrane protein so that they can more readily encounter and phosphorylate other membranes proteins.

These protein are embedded in the phospholipid layer to perform the function of plasma membrane that mainly include the selective transport of molecules and cell - cell recognition.

The plasma membrane perform the function to provide protection for cell. It  differentiate between the outside and inside of the cell.

Phospholipid is the lipid membrane that usually consist of lipid bilayers. It act as barrier to protect the cell against environmental issues.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding translation?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Regarding translation the following statements is <u>false</u>:  The mRNA strand is read from 3' to 5' direction during translation.

Explanation:

The <em>primary structures</em> for protein synthesis are the ribosomes, organelles composed by the <em>association of proteins with rRNA and tRNA</em>.  During translation, mRNAs are read in the 5´ to 3´ direction, and tRNA transfer amino acids to build the polypeptide chain. The <em>protein is synthesized</em> from the amino terminus<em> to </em>the carboxy terminus. Each amino acid is <em>specified by a </em>codon formed by three bases in the mRNA. mARNs have a<em> </em>start and end codon that tells the ribosome where to start and stop adding amino acids. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, it means that protein synthesis is finished.
