Chapter 12 Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases are regulatory proteins that assist in the cell cycle. Particular protein kinases give the go-ahead signals at G1 and G2 checkpoints. These protein kinases are present at a constant concentration in the cell but are inactive unless in the presence of cyclin‚ these are cyclin dependent kinases. The activity of a cdk rises and falls with the concentration of cyclin. Cyclin levels rise during the S and G2 phases then fall abruptly in the M phase

Unit 2 Assignment Critical Thinking 1. Explain why‚ even under ideal conditions‚ Streptococcus grows slowly. Cellular respiration is a process in which glucose is broken down to form an energy that can be used by the cell. There is aerobic respiration and there is anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration involves a series of chemical reactions in which oxygen is used to transform into carbon dioxide and H2O. This process generates energy carrying molecules called ATP. Anaerobic respiration
