ANSWER Bcl2

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death

in the above question it states that in the following which was not helping the apoptosis process so it can also called as anti apoptosis process

from the following options Bcl2 was not causing the apoptosis so it can also known as anti apoptosis

cell death can be initiated through one of two pathways.

  • In intrinsic pathway the cell kills itself because it senses cell stress,
  • In extrinsic pathway the cell kills itself because of signals from other cells.
  • Both pathways causes cell death by activating caspases,
  • which are proteases, or enzymes that degrade proteins.

mechanism

  • so many mechanisms are i exixts in termination of cell death
  1. Bcl2 having the following action by activation or inactivation of an inner mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which is involved in the regulation of matrix Ca2+, pH, and voltage
  2. in some conditions it will induce or inhibit the release the cytocrome C into the cytosol. where cytocrome C activates caspase-9 and caspase-3, leading to cell death

Which events describe when a cell undergoes apoptosis? The plasma membrane moves phosphatidylserine to its inner leaflet. The nucleus breaks down before the plasma membrane becomes permeable. The plasma membrane becomes permeable, leading to mitochondrial damage. The cell lyses, losing 30% of its volume.

1. There are a few forms of "apoptosis". All of these forms have the same end point, but they differ in how the cells get there. in particular some forms of apoptosis do NOT REQUIRE the activation of the caspases. a. Given that the end point of apoptosis is the same, describe one way you would expect all of these forms of cell to be the same (Dead cells is NOT a sufficient answer). You are studying apoptosis in a...
