Question: How was the pathway of the paracrine signaling that uses paracrine factors highly studied?

Answer: It was studied through Drosophila eyes and human cancers.

Signaling molecules known as paracrine factors diffuse over a relatively short distance (local action), as opposed to cell signaling by endocrine factors, hormones which travel considerably longer distances via the circulatory system; juxtacrine interactions; and autocrine signaling.

Paracrine signaling through fibroblast growth factors and its respective receptors utilizes the receptor tyrosine pathway. This signaling pathway has been highly studied, using Drosophila eyes and human cancers. Binding of FGF to FGFR phosphorylates the idle kinase and activates the RTK pathway.

Question: The proteins that are thought to be the core required components of the fusion machinery have what primary role?

Answer: The primary role of SNARE proteins is to mediate vesicle fusion – the fusion of vesicles with the target membrane.

The primary role of SNARE proteins is to mediate vesicle fusion – the fusion of vesicles with the target membrane; this notably mediates exocytosis, but can also mediate the fusion of vesicles with membrane-bound compartments (such as a lysosome ).

SNAREs are thought to be the core required components of the fusion machinery and can function independently of additional cytosolic accessory proteins. This was demonstrated by engineering "flipped" SNAREs, where the SNARE domains face the extracellular space rather than the cytosol. When cells containing v-SNAREs contact cells containing t-SNAREs, trans-SNARE complexes form and cell-cell fusion ensues.

Question: What is mainly used in the production of shampoos and shaving creams that is also commonly used in pressing of ceramic powders?

Answer: Stearic Acid

Stearic acid is mainly used in the production of detergents, soaps, and cosmetics such as shampoos and shaving cream products. Soaps are not made directly from stearic acid, but indirectly by saponification of triglycerides consisting of stearic acid esters.

Stearic acid is a common lubricant during injection molding and pressing of ceramic powders. It is also used as a mold release for foam latex that is baked in stone molds. Being inexpensive, nontoxic, and fairly inert, stearic acid finds many niche applications.


Question: Inorganic compounds with the formula K2S are formed when what is burned?

Answer: Potassium sulfides are formed when black powder is burned and are important intermediates in many pyrotechnic effects.

Potassium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 S. The colourless solid is rarely encountered, because it reacts readily with water, a reaction that affords potassium hydrosulfide (KSH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). Most commonly, the term potassium sulfide refers loosely to this mixture, not the anhydrous solid.

For many purposes, this reaction is inconsequential since the mixture of SH− and OH− behaves as a source of S2−. Other alkali metal sulfides behave similarly.[1]Use in fireworksPotassium sulfides are formed when black powder is burned and are important intermediates in many pyrotechnic effects, such as senko hanabi and some glitter formulations

Question: What type of tumor is primarily caused by excessive amounts of the radiation that constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun?

Answer: This type of radiation is the primary cause of non-malignant skin tumors.

Ultraviolet ( UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength from 10 (with a corresponding frequency around 30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight, and constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun.

Excessive UV radiation is the leading cause of (primarily) non-malignant skin tumors, and in extreme cases can be life-threatening. Sunburn is an inflammatory response in the tissue triggered by direct DNA damage by UV radiation. When the cells ' DNA is overly damaged by UV radiation, type I cell-death is triggered and the tissue is replaced.

Question: A device that produces a controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas with an oxidizer uses oxygen instead of air when used for what purpose?

Answer: When a gas burner is used for welding, oxygen is used instead of air to produce a hotter flame, which is required for melting steel.

A gas burner is a device that produces a controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas such as acetylene, natural gas, or propane with an oxidizer such as the ambient air or supplied oxygen, and allowing for ignition and combustion . The flame is generally used for the heat, infrared radiation, or visible light it produces.

The gas burner has many applications such as soldering, brazing, and welding, the latter using oxygen instead of air for producing a hotter flame, which is required for melting steel. Chemistry laboratories use natural-gas fueled Bunsen burners. In domestic and commercial settings gas burners are commonly used in gas stoves and cooktops. For melting metals with melting points of up to 1100 °C (such as copper, silver, and gold), a propane burner with a natural drag of air can be used. For higher temperatures, acetylene is commonly used in combination with oxygen.

Question: Would blood be taken from the caudal or cubital vein in a human?

Answer: The cubital vein because humans don't have tails.

It leads directly into the posterior cardinal vein in the posterior trunk in fishes. Mammal caudal vein (the middle caudal vein) leads to inferior vena cava . Caudal vein is one of the many places from which a laboratory worker can withdraw blood from a mouse specimen.

Tail vein or caudal vein is the largest vein in vertebrate animals' tail. It leads directly into the posterior cardinal vein in the posterior trunk in fishes. Mammal caudal vein (the middle caudal vein) leads to inferior vena cava.Caudal vein is one of the many places from which a laboratory worker can withdraw blood from a mouse specimen.The process does not require the death of the mouse, that is, assuming that not too much more than the established standard of "no more than two blood samples are taken per session and in any one 24-hour period.". "The lateral tail vein is usually used and 50 μl to 0.2 ml of blood can be obtained per sample depending on the size of the animal."[

Blood is most commonly obtained from the superficial veins of the upper limb.[1] The median cubital vein, which lies within the cubital fossa anterior to the elbow, is close to the surface of the skin without many large nerves positioned nearby. Other veins that can be used in the cubital fossa for venipuncture include the cephalic, basilic, and median antebrachial veins.[4]
