Where does beta-oxidation occur in the cell?
Beta-oxidation occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. It is a metabolic pathway that breaks down fatty acids to generate acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle to produce energy.
If a cell reverses the process of beta oxidation what molecule would it be making?
glycogen
What can be broken down in a human liver and converted to ATP?
In the human liver, glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids can be broken down through various metabolic pathways to produce ATP through processes such as glycolysis, beta-oxidation, and the citric acid cycle. These molecules are used as fuel sources to generate ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell.
Which type of pancreatic cell produces insulin?
Insulin is a hormone that regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
What does the beta cells of the pancreas produce?
The beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin and C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin. Source: Wikipedia
Why does the liver produce cholesterol?
The liver produces cholesterol to help build cell membranes, produce hormones, and aid in digestion.
An E. coli cell without a functional LacI gene is expected to -be unable to transport lactose into te cell wall -be unable to metabolize lactose within the cell wall -always produce Beta-galactosidas?
Always produce Beta-galactosidas
What does mitochondria do in an animal cell?
the mitochondrion is responsible for the final oxidation of food to produce ATP ( energy) thus the name power house of the cell
What molecule cell most directly use for energy?
The most common way that cells produce energy is by the process of respiration where oxidation of glucose occurs which produces ATP (energy for the cells to use in other processes) The most enery can be gained from beta-oxidation of fatty acids, however this is not used on a regular basis (just during exercise or starvation to conserve glucose for organs such as the brain or liver). It is not commonly used because the stores of fat take longer to build back up than the stores of glucose (which is stored as glycogen)
Which glands produce insulin?
In humans only the pancreas produces insulin. There are clusters of specialized cells in the pancreas called Islets of Langerhans. The cell type in the Islets that produce insulin are beta cells. (Other cell types in the Islets produce other hormones.)
Is a liver cell a diploid cell?
The liver cell is a diploid
What is a stem line?
a stem cell line is a group of stem cells that has the ability to produce one specific type of cell. for example, one stem cell line could have the ability to produce a kidney, while another line could produce a liver.
