S‑adenosylmethionine (abbreviated adoMet or SAM) is a methyl group donor in numerous metabolic pathways, including the metabolis

m of lipids and amino acids. Which of the following descriptions of S-adenosylmethionine are accurate?
A. The adenosyl group is linked to methionine via C4 and the β carbon of methionine.
B. The methyl group originally attached to the sulfur atom of methionine is transferred to an acceptor.
C. After ATP is cleaved, inorganic phosphate is added to C5 of the intermediate.
D. The transfer of the methyl group from adoMet to an acceptor yields S‑adenosylhomocysteine.
E. ATP is cleaved to PiPi and PPiPPi in adoMet synthesis.

Answer: Option D.

The transfer of the methyl group from adomet to an acceptor yields s adenosylhomocysteine.

Explanation:

S- adenosine methionine is a co substrate and one of the naturally occurring sulfonium ions in the body. It is synthesized from methionine which is abundant in animal derived protein. It is metabolised in the liver where it is converted to S adenosine methionine by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. It involve the transfer of methyl group. It is use in medicine as alternative aid to reduce depression.

Which of the following is NOT true about the absorption of fats?
babunello [35]

Answer:

The best choice from the answer options for the question: Which of the following is NOT true about absorption of fats, would be: C: The chylomicrons enter the blood in the villi capillaries.

Explanation:

Because of the characteristics of fatty acids, and fats in general, they are not able to either pass the intestinal enterocytes, and enter the bloodstream, as easily as glucose, or other molecules, can. Instead, they first must be passed into the enterocytes, the intenstines´ cells, by their combination with bile. Once inside the intestine, the enterocytes take up the fats and combines them with lipoproteins and cholesterol in order to create the chylomicrons. But before these chylomicrons can make their way to the blood, first they must be taken up by the lymphatic vessels present in the villus of the intestinal epithelium, not the blood capillaries. It will be the lymphatic system which will be reponsible for passing the fats to the bloodstream, who will then distribute them to the appropriate cells in the body as energy is required. Or they will be taken for storage by the liver.

The interaction between which protein and ion initiates muscle coupling?
labwork [276]

Answer:

Troponin and calcium ions.

Explanation:

Troponin is a component of thin filament along with tropomyosin and actin. It is a protein complex to which calcium binds and start the production of muscular force.

Calcium also playing a very important role in muscle contractions, it binds with troponin and helping to move tropomyosin.

When calcium ion attached to troponin, then conformational changes occurs in troponin shape and moves which allow tropomyosin going away from its inhibitory position from the myosin-binding sites on actin. After this, the energized myosin head starts binding to the actin molecules and starts the cross bridge cycle, which helping in shortening the muscle's fiber.
