The capacity to bind insulin is maintained by alpha-beta monomers, but is not activated in response to insulin binding.

The capacity to bind insulin is maintained by alpha-beta monomers, but is not activated in response to insulin binding. Correct Answer True

In many case, multiple studies have shown that for insulin to activate its receptor, receptor dimerization is required. Alpha-beta monomers, maintain insulin binding potential but are not activated in response to insulin binding.

A insulin producing company starts the production with 4 kg of insulin, the next day the amount of insulin was increased to 12 kg. If the amount of insulin on the n + 1th day : amount of insulin on nth day ∷ amount of insulin on nth day : amount of insulin on the n – 1th day and once the amount of insulin crosses 100 kg, 90 kgs of the insulin is removed. What will be the total production of insulin in 23 days?
Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II does not directly bind to the promoter, but relies on a dozen or more transcription factors to recognize and bind to the promoter in a specific order before its own binding around the promoter.
Below are given two sets, Set - I which gives modalities of operant conditioning and Set - II which provides the types of reinforcement, the types of responses (responses made or withheld) and the presence or absence of cue. Match the two sets and indicate your answer by choosing from the code : Set - I (Modalities of operant conditioning procedures) Set – II           (Conditions and contexts) (a) Reward training (i) Positive reinforcement, response made, with cue present (b) Escape training (ii) Positive reinforcement, response withheld with cue absent (c) Discriminated omission training   (iii) Positive reinforcement, response made with cue absent (d) Active avoidance   (iv) Negative reinforcement, response made with training (e) Punishment training (v) Positive reinforcement, response withheld with cue present   (vi) Negative reinforcement, response withheld with cue absent  
In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is only behind water as the planet's most-consumed resource. B: Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete. C: Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together.  D: A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together.
