How does the liver help in maintaining homeostasis

Biology
1 answer:
irga5000 [103]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The liver plays a major role in blood glucose homeostasis by maintaining a balance between the uptake and storage of glucose via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The liver is the primary organ for glucose metabolism.

Glycogenolysis: Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen.  

Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-sugar precursors, such as lactate, pyruvate, and the carbon skeleton of glucogenic amino acids.

The enzyme DNA polymerase works only in the 5′ to 3′ direction. How does this affect the leading strand and the lagging strand?
aliina [53]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

DNA replication is semiconservative- meaning the old template strand will form a double helix with the newly synthesized strand. The DNA polymerase can only replicate DNA in the 5’ -> 3’ direction on a DNA strand. However, because the two strands of a DNA double helix run antiparallel (and they are replicated together), then during replication, one strand will be oriented in the opposite direction (i.e 3’ -> 5’ direction).

Because DNA polymerase requires a primer to begin replication, the leading strand will require one primer, because replication on this strand occurs continuously. On the lagging strand, many primers are required because replication is done piecemeal forming fragments called Okazaki fragments. The fragments are later joined by DNA ligases.

Explain how the structure (order) of DNA can determine the structure of a protein. Use as many of the following terms as you can
jek_recluse [69]

The stages of DNA bases in a molecule can determine the order of amino acids in protein molecules. Groups of three bases called triplets represent different amino acids. This is the basis of the genetic code . A sequence  of bases (genetic information) on DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene
