Hydroxyl group of serin act as a side chain enzyme. Glucose 1- phosphate is converted to glucose 6- phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

Those tissues also house the enzyme glucose 6- phosphatase, which  converted to glucose 6- phosphate into free glucose that is secreted into the blood ,  thereby restoring blood glucose levels to normal. It is intracelluar form of blood glucose.

Phosphorylation traps the glucose by placing a negative charge on the molecule , preventing its diffusion back across the cell membrane into the blood. Hexokinase enzyme acts on glucose and converts to glucose 6-phosphate.

Briefly discuss the current controversy about which complex organic molecules formed first: nucleic acids or proteins
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The controversy surrounding the nucleic acids and proteins, regarding which one of them was formed first is the most popular controversy in the biology world today. The nucleic acids stores and the genetic information. The proteins essential for all the life processes are encoded by the genes formed of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). But proteins (enzymes) are required for the formation of proteins from the genes. The inter-dependency of the nucleic acids and proteins on each other possesses a dilemma to the question 'which of them arrived first'.

The answer to this dilemma was answered when it was discovered that RNA was capable of not only carrying the genetic information, but also acting as catalyst to the chemical reaction. This finding supported the notion that the RNA evolved first serving the purpose of both the nucleic acids and emzymes.

Describe the strength of the magnetic field at points a b and c in the image below. Explain your answers in the terms of magneti
Nastasia [14]

The magnetic fields are strongest at point A and weakest at point C. The magnetic field lines can be used to indicate the strength of a magnet or magnetic field. The closer together the magnetic field lines the stronger the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic field line also shows the direction of the magnetic field, hence they are also considered vector fields because they have magnitude and direction. They usually have an arrow indicating that the field lines are moving from the north pole to the south pole. The lines also never cross and are always in closed loops.
