Concept explainers
Interpretation:
In the mechanism of SERCA, whether sustained phosphate production is observed or not needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
ATP is the energy source of life which is founded in the cells. It works is to supply the cell with energy as well as store the needed energy in the cell. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate.
SERCA is sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ or it is a calcium ATPase. This is a pump that transport calcium from the cytoplasm into SR. SR stands for sarcoplasmic reticulum which helps in regulation of calcium ions in the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells. It occurs both in animal and plant cells.
Calcimycinis a mobile ion carrier which helps in the formation of the divalent complex with divalent cations.

- QIV. Determine if the level of organization is molecular or cellular. Tick True if molecular. Tick False if cellular. The membrane proteins are mostly glycoproteins in association with enzymes to hasten the biochemical process. Select one: O True O Falsearrow_forwardPlease ASAP. THankyou. Question 17 If you completely inhibit the Na+/K+ ATPase, which of the following would you most likely observe? Decrease in Na+/Ca++ exchanger activity The Nernst potential for K+ would become more positive Intracellular Na+ concentration would increase All of the abovearrow_forwardFrog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?arrow_forward
- The Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?arrow_forwardSignal transduction pathway.
