Two protein kinases, PK1 and PK2, work sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway.You create cells that contain inactiva

ting mutations in the genes that encode either PK1 or PK2 and find that these cells no longer respond to a particular extracellular signal.You also create cells containing a version of PK1 that is permanently active and find that the cells behave as though they are receiving the signal even when the signal is not present.When you introduce the permanently active version of PK1 into cells that have an inactivating mutation in PK2, you find that these cells also behave as though they are receiving the signal even when no signal is present.
A.From these results, does PK1 activate PK2, or does PK2 activate PK1? Explain your answer.
B.You now create a permanently active version of PK2 and find that cells containing this version behave as though they are receiving the signal even when the signal is not present.What do you predict will happen if you introduce the permanently active version of PK2 into cells that have an inactivating mutation in PK1?

Answer:

a. PK2 activates PK1

b. no response would be produced

Explanation:

Kinases are enzymes known to phosphorylate different substrates, thereby activating/inactivating them. In this case, a mutation that produces a constitutively (permanently) active PK1 kinase is itself able to continue the signaling pathway, independently of whether or not PK2 is present. This constitutive mutation shows that PK1 is recruited to continue signaling events within the cell and, therefore, PK1 activation is downstream in the signaling pathway. Conversely, cells containing active PK2 and inactive PK1 would be unable to continue the signaling pathway since PK2 activation is upstream of the induction of PK1, and thereby these cells cannot respond to the signal (PK2 activation).

What is the difference between cellular respiration and the combustion of fossil fuels?
madreJ [45]

Carbon is released into the atmosphere only during the burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

During the process of fuel burning, carbon is released in the atmosphere. The human invented power plants, factories, cars and other vehicles releases carbon in the form of carbon di-oxide in atmosphere.  

However, the cellular respiration is similar to that of fuel burning as it is too a combustion process. But the carbon produced in this process fuels the inner cellular activities rather than releasing it in the atmosphere.

Why is the sunset red or orange?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

According to the science magazine Scientific American, the sunset is reddish because, when the sun is setting, the light that reaches you has had to go through lots more atmosphere than when the sun is overhead, hence the only colour light that is not scattered away is the long wavelength light, the red.

What is the theory of natural selection, and why does it occur in an organism? Give an example.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.

Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.
