The endoplasmic reticulum bound enzyme that hydrolyzes glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in liver is: glucose-6-phosphatase.

Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), an enzyme found mainly in the liver and the kidneys, plays the important role of providing glucose during starvation. Unlike most phosphatases acting on water-soluble compounds, it is a membrane-bound enzyme, being associated with the endoplasmic reticulum.

Liver cells contain a membrane bound enzyme called glucose-6-phosphatase for glycogenolysis by glucagon especially during starvation when free glucose is required. As glucagon enters the liver cells it activates the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase which then acts on glucose-6-phosphate and hydrolyzes it. As glucose-6-phosphate is hydrolyzed, it results in the formation of a phosphate group and a free glucose. The free glucose thus formed is transported from the liver cell to other tissues by specific glucose transport membrane protiens.

F is the symbol for Force! The units of force are newtons or because force is made up of mass (kg) x acceleration (meters/second squared) we can say the units for force is just a blend of these.

So units for force is newtons or kg per meter squared.

Both of these units are correct for force.

M is the symbol for Mass! The units for mass are kg

A is the symbol for acceleration, the units for acceleration are meters per second per second ( ms^2)

Where does organic and inorganic matter come from that is dissolved in ocean water? what about gases?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Processes involving dissolved and particulate organic carbon are of central importance in shaping the chemical character of seawater. Marine organic carbon principally originates in the uppermost 100 metres of the oceans where dissolved inorganic carbon is photosynthetically converted to organic materials.

Why do prokaryotes reproduce faster than eukaryotes?

JulijaS [17]

Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually which makes it easier for them to multiply because all they have to do is split in half where as eukaryotic cells reproduce sexually so they have to find another cell to meet with in order to reproduce.

What do you think will happen to the temperature when the amount of water vapor increases?

Marysya12 [62]

Increasing water vapor leads to warmer temperatures, which causes more water vapor to be absorbed into the air. Warming and water absorption increase in a spiraling cycle. Hope it helps!
