All Correct Statements Pertaining to the Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate Reaction Step in Glycolysis.

1 answer:

6 0

Conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate in glycolysis requires glucose-6-phosphate to generate dihydroxyacetone phosphate. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What is glycolysis?</h3>

Glycolysis is the process of forming pyruvate from the catabolism of glucose molecules. This process creates ATP, NADP, and FADH₂ molecules. The dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reaction step involves the conversion of DHAP to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. This enzyme catalyzes the isomerization of a tri-carbon sugar to another tri-carbon sugar (G3P).

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is in the glycolytic pathway and, along with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, is one of two products formed when fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is broken down. It is readily and reversibly isomerized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?

AVprozaik [17]

<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection). </span>

Enzymes what do they do? what are they made of? how do they work?

MatroZZZ [7]

<span>To break a protein down into its amino acids you will need enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Let's say you ate a piece of meat. Proteases would go to work and help break down the peptide bonds between the amino acids.
