The equilibrium for isomerization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is favored because.

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.

The condition in which the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment near or over the internal cervical os is _________
Maksim231197 [3]

The condition in which the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment near or over the internal cervical  is Placenta previa.

<h3>What is placenta previa?</h3>

Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta covers all or part of the opening to the cervical aperture, which sits at the top of the vagina, and lies very low in the uterus. One in 200 pregnancies results in placenta previa.

<h3>What is called when the placenta is attached to the uterus?</h3>

The syndrome known as placenta increta refers to the placenta's abnormally strong attachment to the uterus and subsequent embedding in the muscle wall of the organ. A disorder known as placenta percreta.

<h3>When placenta percreta occurs?</h3>

placenta percreta occurs when the placenta connects to the uterus and spreads across it, perhaps affecting surrounding organs (such as the bladder).

The transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next is necessary for the survival of a species. Which statement
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) The complementary base pair rules.

DNA serves as the genetic material in most of the living organisms and is transmitted from parents to their offspring.

It is like blue print of the cell which contains all the necessary information required for the functioning and regulation of cell in the form of nucleotide sequences.

Generally, DNA consists of two strands which are complementary in nature i.e. purine base pair with its specific pyrimidine (adenine always base pair with thymine and guanine always base pair with cytosine).

This property of DNA is of utmost importance in the process of DNA replication as daughter DNA strand is formed on the basis of complementary base pair of the template strand.

It ensures that correct DNA sequence is produced for transmission to the offspring or daughter cell.
