Answer to: The organelle that transfers energy from organic compounds to ATP is ___. (a) mitochondria (b) ribosomes (c) lysosomes (d) nucleus...
Although cell compartmentalization has been traditionally thought to be the main purpose of lipids, it is clear now that lipids exhibit functions in addition to those related to their struc- tures. Indeed, lipids are involved in processes ranging from energy production, defensive antioxidative ...
In the cell cycle, the nucleolus is a highly dynamic structure that exhibits periodic disappearance and reconstruction during MIIT Key Laboratory of Critical Materials Technology for New Energy Conversion and Storage, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin ...
Raman spectroscopy relies on inelastic scattering of incident monochromatic light, wherein the energy of photons is being changed, either by a Stokes or anti-Stokes process, upon interaction with molecules of the sample. Light scattering on different types of biomolecules generates corresponding bands ...
Non-shivering thermogenesis relies primarily on mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in thermogenic fat (including brown and beige adipose tissue) to burn substrates, such as fatty acids (FAs), and convert chemical energy into heat. Lipid droplets (LDs), which are organelles that store ...
Perturbation: a transition from the normal state (state 1) to a chronic malfunctioning of one subsystem (a) during generates internal damage (orange thread) that requires a higher load of the shared PQC factor (red circles) to assuage. As a consequence, the PQC factor becomes limited at ...
In yeast, where β-oxidation of fatty acids is carried out solely in peroxisomes, metabolic communication between peroxisomes and mitochondria is especially vital for the utilisation of fatty acids as an energy source. β-oxidation in yeast generates acetyl-CoAs, which must be transferred as membran...
Question: Fill in the blank. The semi-autonomous organelle in algae and plants that carry out photosynthesis is called ___. Organelles: One of the distinguishing characteristics of eukaryotic cells is the presence of a variety of membrane-bound cellular compartment...
In animal cells the model of highways and local roads describes the cooperative transport of cargo along microtubule and actin tracks2,3,4,5. This model suggests that in animal cells microtubules enable long and fast transport (highways) whereas the dynamic actin cytoskeleton provides slower, but ...
Migration of meiosis-I (MI) spindle from the cell center to a sub-cortical location is a critical step for mouse oocytes to undergo asymmetric meiotic cell division. In this study, we investigate the mechanism by which formin-2 (FMN2) orchestrates the in
