Q

transformation vs transduction vs conjugation

A

Transformation is the genetic alteration of bacteria by direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous DNA from their surroundings. On the other hand, transduction is the process by which a virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another. Conjugation occur when bacteria transfer between them

Q

potential and signals in Sarcoplasmic reticulum

A

ACh binds and opens ligand-gated ion channels in the sarcolemma (the plasma membrane of the muscle cell)

Na+ flows down its electrochemical gradient and into the cell through the channel, resulting in depolarization of the sarcolemma and generation of an action potential that propagates along the muscle fiber in all directions.

At certain locations along the muscle fiber, the sarcolemma burrows deep into the cells, forming a channel known as the transverse (T) tubule, which brings depolarizing current close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The SR is a specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum responsible for regulating cytosolic Ca2+ levels within the muscle cell.

Action potential propagation through the T tubule ultimately leads to the opening of Ca2+ channels in the SR membrane. Because Ca2+ is more highly concentrated inside the SR than in the cytosol, the opening of these channels results in Ca2+ flowing down its concentration gradient and into the cytosol.

Cytosolic Ca2+ ions then bind to troponin, which allows the actin and myosin filaments of the sarcomere to slide across one another. The sliding of the filaments results in shortening of the sarcomere and overall muscle contraction (Choice C).

The Ca2+ channels in the SR membrane close when the depolarizing stimulus ceases. Active transport Ca2+ pumps sequester the Ca2+ back into the SR, which allows the muscle to return to its relaxed state as cytosolic Ca2+ concentration falls (Choice D).

Glycogen is a branched molecule composed of several linked glucose units. Each incoming unit is linked to the growing chain by a bond between carbon 1 of the incoming glucose and either carbon 4 or carbon 6 of a glucose unit in the growing glycogen chain. α(1→4) linkages are facilitated by glycogen synthase whereas α(1→6) linkages are facilitated by the glycogen branching enzyme.
