Chapter 2, Problem 67TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Structural features of primary cilia which makes it a sensory organelle.
Introduction:
Primary cilia are appendages found in kidney made up of microtubules. They are extensions of the cells thatreceive signals from the extracellular environment. The single primary cilium is nonmotile structure and serves only the purpose of signaling. Other than this, all the secondary cilia are motile structures.

- QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of A. ion driven active transport B. facilitated diffusion C. simple diffusion D.

- question: A sustained decrease in MAP could result in decreased release of ACh by preganglionic neurons that innervate the adrenal medulla. answer should clearly state whether or not the statement is correct and then concisely explain why. the answer should be like more than three but less than 5 sentences and address all of the points in the statement. Here is an example: Both transmembrane carrier proteins and transmembrane channel proteins can mediate active transport of a hydrophilic solute through a cell plasma membrane. This statement is incorrect. Movement of a solute through a channel protein is always passive, whereas carrier-mediated transmembrane transport can be either passive or active. A transmembrane channel protein creates a pore through the membrane allowing for simple diffusion of a hydrophilic solute down a concentration gradient through the membrane. In contrast, transmembrane carrier protein interacts with and 'escorts' a hydrophilic solute through the…arrow_forwardThe catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) are all derived from the amino acid _____________ .arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between cyclic and noncyclicphotophosphorylation?arrow_forward
