Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?

Biology
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.

Assume a hawk eats five 20 gram birds and one 150 gram rabbit. In terms of biomass, did the
inna [77]

Answer: the rabbit

Explanation:

In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:

  • the total mass of the organisms within a community
  • the average masses per unit area

Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.

The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass

Imagine that four genes on a single chromosome in a mutant phenotype of Drosophila cross over at half the normal rate as in the
lesantik [10]

We know that frequency of recombination is proportional with the distance between the genes on the chromosome. Therefore when the recombination rate is higher that means the distance between the genes on the chromosome is bigger. If the recombination rate is lower that means the genes are closer to each other on the chromosome. In this case the cross over rate is half the normal rate in the wild-type. That means that on the genetic map the distance between the two genes on the wild type will be twice bigger than the genes of the mutated Drosophila.

If a cell contains 95% water and is put into a beaker with 100% water, what will happen
Kisachek [45]

Answer: The quantity of water in the beaker will reduce. The cell will increase size.

Explanation: There is difference in water concentration between the cell and the beaker, therefore water will move from the beaker into the cell causing the cell to expand and the quantity of water in the beaker to decrease. There will be movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (beaker) to an area of low water concentration (the cell) through a selectively permeable cell membrane. The aim of this is to create an equilibrium between the water concentration in the cell and that in the beaker.
