(a)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The time taken in the activation of maximal Ras.

Introduction: Ras activation can be defined as “the increase in the active GTP protein which is bound to the ligand.” The “Ras proteins” comprises of low molecular weight nucleotides of guanine-binding proteins that contribute to the cellular growth and differentiation.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind the decline in the activity of Ras.

Introduction: Ras activation can be defined as “the increase in the active GTP protein which is bound to the ligand.” The “Ras proteins” comprises of low molecular weight nucleotides of guanine-binding proteins that contribute to the cellular growth and differentiation.

Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. In the above figure, a wild-type plant and a plant with a atg5 knockout, which prevents autophagy within the cell, are examined for the number of peroxisomes per micrograph image taken of the plant's leaves.  Which of the following are true. Options: The atg5 plants have elevated levels of malate The atg5 plants appear less able to destroy old organelles The atg5 plants may have a modified ability to deal with phosphoglycolate The atg5 plants may have a modified ability to deal with oxygen free radicals The atg5 plants appear more able to destroy old organelles
CTP inhibits ATCase; however, the inhibition is not complete. Can you suggest another molecule that might enhance the inhibition of ATCase?
Explain why in cells that are genetically NF1–/–, basal levels of GTP-bound activated Ras are higher than normal and respond to growth factor stimulation by increasing rapidly to far higher levels.
