Which statement correctly distinguishes the roles of protein kinases and protein phosphatases in signal transduction pathways?

a) protein kinases activate enzymes by phosphorylating or adding phosphate groups to them. protein phosphatases dephosphorylate or remove phosphate groups from enzymes, including protein kinases.
b) protein kinases are involved in signal transduction in unicellular eukaryotes such as yeast. protein phosphatases are involved in signal transduction in multicellular eukaryotes.
c) protein kinases are more critical than protein phosphatases to signal transduction enzymes.

A) Protein kinases activate enzymes by phosphorylating or adding phosphate groups to them. Protein phosphatases dephosphorylate or remove phosphate groups from enzymes, including protein kinases.

Explanation:

Protein kinases are enzymes that have the ability to modulate other enzymes (or some other proteins) by adding the phosphate group. This is known as phosphorilation process. As a result of structural change, protein can change its activity (phosphorilation usually increase the activity).

Phosphatases are enzymes with opposite function, they remove phosphate group from the protein causing different effect.

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
