The process by which organisms create sugars (specifically glucose) from non-carbohydrate precursors is known as gluconeogenesis.

  • The only energy source used by the brain, testes, erythrocytes, and renal medulla is glucose, with the exception of ketone bodies during fasting. There are three highly exergonic stages in glycolysis. Hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase are among the enzymes involved in these additional regulatory stages. In biological processes, both forward and backward reactions are possible.
  • Similar to glycolysis, but with the process going the other way, is gluconeogenesis. Fructose-1,6-bP, glucose-6-P, and pyruvate all undergo fairly spontaneous conversions in the process of gluconeogenesis, which is why these reactions are tightly controlled.
  • For the organism to function properly, energy conservation is crucial. Gluconeogenesis is suppressed when there is an abundance of energy available.

Therefore, gluconeogenesis conserve more energy.

What is it important that carbon is recycled?
marshall27 [118]
It's not so important that it be recycled ... after all, there's almost a limitless supply,
and there's no danger of ever running out of it.

What's important is to keep carbon out of the atmosphere.  In order to do that, we
need to reduce the amount of it that's released during so many of the processes
that we've been doing on a huge scale for the past 200 years, and invent ways
to capture the carbon that we DO continue to release, before it gets into the
atmosphere.

Help!!!<br> What structures could you see under high power that you could not see under low power?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The field of view is widest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view is closes in. You will see more of an object on low power.

Which of the following correctly describes the structure of the typical eukaryotic genome?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Diploid.

Explanation:

DNA is present in the genetic material of all the eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.The eukaryotic genome contains DNA wraps around the histone proteins. Multiple distinct chromosomes are present in the eukaryote genome.

The eukaryotic genome are generally linear structure with the two copies of each chromosome. This makes the eukaryotic genome as diploid structure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

16 - Albinism: Prom Genotype to Phenotype
Mrac [35]

A correct flow chart is DNA i.e., gene (transcription) >> mRNA + tRNAs (translation) >> amino acids or protein >> phenotype.  It is the flow of the genetic information.

<h3>What is the flow of genetic information?</h3>

The flow of genetic information refers to the molecular process from DNA to the final phenotype (i.e., protein product).

During gene transcription, a particular fragment of DNA called gene is used as a template to generate an mRNA.

Subsequently, the mRNA serves as a template to generate a linear chain of amino acids, i.e., a protein, by a process called translation.

The final protein can be considered as the phenotype (in this case, the albinism trait) because it is the observable feature.
