What is the metabolic significance of the following observations? (1) Only the liver form of
pyruvate kinase is inhibited by alanine, and (2) only gluconeogenic tissues contain appreciable levels of
glucose-6-phosphatase?
Why does it make good metabolic sense for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, rather than
pyruvate carboxylase, to be the primary target for regulation of gluconeogenesis at the level of control
of enzyme synthesis?
(6 points) Write a one or two-sentence response to the following questions/statements.
(a) In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cAMP dependent signaling. Although one
might expect glucagon also to stimulate catabolism of the glucose formed (much like epinephrine
stimulates catabolism of glucose in muscle), glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates
gluconeogenesis.
(b) An individual with glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency suffers from chronic hypoglycemia.
(c) 14CO2 was bubbled through a suspension of liver cells that was undergoing gluconeogenesis from
lactate to glucose. Which carbons in the glucose molecule would become radioactive
what is the function of a cell membrane?
what phase is the period during the life of a cell between the end of mitosis and the synthesis of more genetic material.
Holla i am stuck on my homework and i have a question to ask you can you help me?
my question is : What are the advantages of these metals Iron, Copper, Gold, Bronze and Aluminium. compared to each other?
Explain how CO[sub]2[/sub] is buffered in the blood causing stabilization of blood Ph.
Is buffering the same as neutralisation of acid/base solutions??
Is it possible that every matter has kind of DNA that makes matter what it is?&
For example I see a cup, with water. The cup is made of atoms, there is so much space between the atoms but as a whole abiotic object we see a cup, the same with water, well it should be easier because there is a live. What holds them together? Could it be some kind of DNA? We do not see what keep cup as a cup, but we can easily change the information and break the cup, it shouldn’t break a part and if so it should be easy to put it back together with no much afford.&
When we form products, like a cup and it's a static in our eyes then the cup could keep record of all the process of creating and maybe it's whole live, is it possible? Those examples are infinity.Did Quantum Scientists search for that and if so what did they find? Could you send me a link where can I find the answer?
An urine specimen is found to contain high level of ammounium ions (NH4+) is this an example of blood acidosis or alkalosis? explain
