  2. Pressure flow hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Flow_Hypothesis

    Some experiments indicate that bidirectional movement may occur in a single sieve tube, whereas others do not. The bidirectional movement of solutes in the translocation process and the fact that translocation is heavily affected by changes in environmental conditions like temperature and metabolic inhibitors are two defects of the hypothesis.

  3. Mating of yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast

    In yeast, mating as well as the production of shmoos occur via an all-or-none, switch-like mechanism. [40] This switch-like mechanism allows yeast cells to avoid making an unwise commitment to a highly demanding procedure. [41] The decision to mate must balance being energy-conservative and fast enough to avoid losing the potential mate. [42]

  4. Translocase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocase

    EC 7.2.1 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to oxidoreductase reactions; EC 7.2.2 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate; EC 7.2.4 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to decarboxylation; An important translocase contained in this group is Na+/K+ pump, also known as EC 7.2.2.13.

  5. Translocon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocon

    The translocon (also known as a translocator or translocation channel) is a complex of proteins associated with the translocation of polypeptides across membranes. [1] In eukaryotes the term translocon most commonly refers to the complex that transports nascent polypeptides with a targeting signal sequence into the interior (cisternal or lumenal) space of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from ...

  6. Yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast

    Many types of yeasts are used for making many foods: baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, and yeast in wine fermentation and for xylitol production. [57] So-called red rice yeast is actually a mold, Monascus purpureus. Yeasts include some of the most widely used model organisms for genetics and cell biology. [58]

  7. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

    Two forms of yeast cells can survive and grow: haploid and diploid. The haploid cells undergo a simple lifecycle of mitosis and growth, and under conditions of high stress will, in general, die. This is the asexual form of the fungus. The diploid cells (the preferential 'form' of yeast) similarly undergo a simple lifecycle of mitosis and growth.

  8. Active transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_transport

    Active transport enables these cells to take up salts from this dilute solution against the direction of the concentration gradient. For example, chloride (Cl −) and nitrate (NO 3 −) ions exist in the cytosol of plant cells, and need to be transported into the vacuole. While the vacuole has channels for these ions, transportation of them is ...

  9. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    This article needs attention from an expert in biochemistry.The specific problem is: someone with a solid grasp of the full scope of this subject and of its secondary and advanced teaching literatures needs to address A, the clear structural issues of the article (e.g., general absence of catabolic biosynthetic pathways, insertion of macromolecule anabolic paths before all building blocks ...
