Onsidering that gluconeogenesis requires a net input of 4 atp equivalents compared to glycolysis, why would a cell utilize this

pathway, ie., what is the metabolic advantage of this pathway?

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.

Answer:

Evolution

Explanation:

Archaeologists have attemped to draw up an evolutionary history of humans using evidence of fossil skeletal fragments and cultural artifacts discovered with them. Hominidae family of man and pangidae family of anthropoid apes are thought to have evolved from proconsul or dryopithecus which lived about 20 milllion years ago. The hominidae gave rise to human species and pongidae gave rise to the present day anthropoid apes.

Which best describes the interaction between dna and rna during protein synthesis? a rna carries the code to the nucleus where d
Step2247 [10]
C) RNA<span> carries the code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

The ribosomes are in the cytosol/cytoplasm, but DNA is in the nucleus. DNA is too large to travel out of the nucleus, so it needs the help of mRNA to transfer the genetic code to the ribosome, which translates the code into a protein. That means A, B, and D cannot be true. </span>

nikklg [1K]
A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.
