Researchers conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of a valinomycin treatment on skeletal muscle cells. Valinomycin

is a naturally occurring substance that can be used as a drug. The results of the experiment are presented in the table. Which of the following claims about the effects of the valinomycin treatment is best supported by the data presented in the table?
A. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

B. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the Golgi complex.

C. The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the lysosome.

D. The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the mitochondria.​

The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the mitochondria.  

Explanation:

When valinomycin treatment was given, the rate of ATP production is reduced in the cells treated. Since mitochondria are involved in ATP synthesis, it clearly shows that valinomycin inhibits mitochondrial action.  

Valinomycin being a selective K+ ionophore, it can transfer potassium ions through selective lipid membranes. This can cause potassium effux in organelles like mitochondria leading to marked loss of potential of mitochondrial membrane and apoptosis in cells.

The effux of K+ ions forms a complex with valinomycin and slows down the mitochondrial part of ATP synthesis by reducing the proton-motive force, but does not block any oxygen electron transfer .

A cyclin called cyclin E forms a complex with a cyclin-dependent kinase called Cdk 2. This complex is important for the progress
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

B. The amount of unbound cyclin E is lowest as the cell enters S.

Explanation:

The reproduction of the cell is a cycle that it regulates by itself, depending the  demand of a certain cell.

In the case of the mitosis, in Each change from G1 to S to G2 to M is regulated by some proteins like the cyclin.

In the case of the cdK2 is ncessary to pass the control point to pass from the stage G1 to the stage S.

Another characteristic of the cyclins, is that these proteins are synthetized and degraded constantly during the hole process.

Hope this is a useful info

A cell with a predominance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum is likely specialized to ________.
RSB [31]
The answer to this question would be: <span>producing large quantities of proteins for secretion

Cell with many smooth endoplasmic reticulum has a high protein synthesis capability. This will make the cell able to produce many proteins like enzyme. One example of this type of cell will be hepatocyte or cell in the liver. This cell will need many enzymes to detoxify toxin in the body.</span>

The rigid layer that is present in the cell walls of bacteria that is primarily responsible for the strength of the wall is know
melomori [17]
The substance that helps keep the integrity of the bacterial cell wall intact is known as the peptidoglycan. Others also refer to is it as murein or mucopeptide. The bacterial cell wall is necessary for survival because of the high internal pressure present inside of bacteria. Under normal conditions, if the cell wall is removed the bacterial cell will burst.

The peptidoglycan is a layer that can be used to distinguish gram positive bacteria from gram negative ones. G(+) bacteria have a thick layer of this while G(-) have a thinner ones.
