glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is being continously drained off for the subsequent reaction in the glycolytic pathway.

<h3>What converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate?</h3>

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is converted to glyceradehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. As the name suggests, this enzyme catalyzes the isomerization of a three-carbon sugar into another three-carbon sugar. Since the molecular formulas of DHAP and G3P are the same, we know that they are isomers of each other.

The balance between DHAP and G3P is extremely important in regulating overall cell metabolism. Consider the following equilibrium:

                                          DHAP⇌G3P⇌ATP.

This should make sense:

if there is lots of ATP around in the cell, there is no need for glycolysis to proceed. Thus the equilibrium will be pushed to the left, increasing the concentration of DHAP in the cell. In humans, DHAP is converted into triglycerides, which get stored as fat. One way to shift this equilibrium to the right is to "create" an ATP need. This can be done by exercising. Exercise utilizes ATP and will thus pull the equilibrium to the right, removing DHAP (which was destined to be converted into fat) and facilitates its conversion into G3P to proceed with cellular respiration.

Iris is most likely being negatively stereotyped as being gifted.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Many students who have proven to be gifted intellectually are likely to face struggle and negative feedback from their classmates. This is generally because they believe that the gifted student will get special treatment above the other student. Furthermore, it is evident that gifted students are likely to have different interests than their peers or much deeper knowledge of the common interest. They use terms which peers might not understand, barring them from having an effective conversation.

To maintain a balance in the class, teacher's are trained in a specific field in which they learn how to treat all the students equally, gifted or not. That helps reverse the negative stereotype or bring it down to a minimal level. As for students interacting with each other, several activities are put to place to encourage healthy interactions.
