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.

How are protists classified/grouped
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Protists were traditionally subdivided into several groups based on their physical similarities to the "higher" kingdoms of Animals, Plants, and Fungi. For example, the unicellular, “animal-like” protozoa, the “plant-like” algae, and the “fungus-like” slime molds and water molds are all protists.

The statement force equals mass times acceleration is Newton second law of motion.why is this law rather than a theory
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The statement “force equals mass times acceleration” is Newton's second law of motion. It is a law rather than a theory because it states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables.
