Q

among DNA molecules presented below, which one would start melting first if the temperature keeps increasing?

  • they all would melt together as the relative number of G-C and A-T pairs does not affect the temp at which DNA strands get separated
  • one that has more G-C pairs than A-T pairs
  • one that has more A-T pairs than G-C
  • one that has equal number of G-C and A-T pairs
A

one that has more A-T pairs than G-C pairs

steroid hormone receptors act by…

A

activating transcription of target genes

24
Q

the reserved pool of glucose transporters in muscle cells is stored in…

A

early endosomes

25
Q

adrenal cells release hormone norepinephrine into the bloodstream that acts on various organs and systems throughout the cell body. this type of signaling is called…

A

endocrine

26
Q

early endosome-specific proton pump that acidifies the organelle was blocked by some drug. As a result, the endosome’s pH appeared to be neutral. What would most likely be the consequence of such pH change for the iron transport inside the cell?

A

neither iron nor transferrin will dissociate from the receptor at the neutral pH, so the whole complex will be returned back to the cell surface without releasing the iron inside the cell

Q

omega-3 fatty acid is a component of…

A

phosphatidylinositol phosphates

28
Q

  • Golgi stacks
  • ER-associated ribosomes
A

Clathrin-coated pits

29
Q

the role of glucosyltransferase in the ER protein quality controls cycle is to…

A

add glucose residues to the misfolded protein so that the chaperon may help the protein to fold again

30
Q

the delivery of newly synthesized proteins across the mitochondrial membranes involves…

A

membrane translocases
