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.

Which is an extreme disturbance to any ecosystem

adelina 88 [10]

Extreme disturbances are complex events. The terminology used to identify them, such as 'hurricanes,' 'fires,' 'economic collapse,' 'war,' or 'drought,' is insufficient for advancing understanding about how they interact with, and affect, ecosystems, including SETS.
