It is vital to your understanding of this topic that you remember life on Earth was largely water-based and these aquatic creatures had to undergo adaptations and evolution over millions of years of transition to make the conversion to life on land possible. Animals had to develop lungs in addition to or replacing gills that could breathe air and extract the oxygen from that rather than the water. They also had to develop feet to replace their fins. Animals also had to be able to adjust to wide ranges of temperature on land that they didn't experience in the water, thus they developed different forms of heat protection. Mainly, animals had to develop a respiratory system that could handle the increase of oxygen, feet/legs that were suited to land rather than water, and stronger bodies that were rigid and could withstand high/low temperatures, terrestrial predators like those of vertebrates and arthropods, that were the animals first able to live on land.  <span />

Answer:

B. The city park contains fewer natural predators of the red squirrel than the nature reserve.

Explanation:

When compared to a nature reserve a city park really doesn't have any predators apart from some cats or birds. There really isn't much that can challenge the squirrel in order for their numbers to go down. There is no threat from food shortages and no threat from being eaten by larger animals that could live there.

Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6‑phosphate to fructose 1,6‑bisphosphate in glycolysis. Fructose 1
Airida [17]

Answer:

Fructose 2,6‑bisphosphate (F26BP) activates phosphofructokinase‑1 (PFK -1) and inhibits fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase)

Explanation:

Fructose 2,6‑bisphosphate (F26BP) is a metabolite that is produced with an increase in glucose, hence increasing the availability of fructose-6-phosphate. With, the increased concentration of F26BP, it increases the affinity of PFK- 1 to fructose-6-phosphate, thereby activating glycolysis which enhances the catabolism of glucose. In contrast, F26BP inhibits the activity of  fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase), hence inhibiting gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose) will not be need since there is the presence of glucose in the system.

In summary, fructose 2,6‑bisphosphate (F26BP) reciprocally controls the enzymatic activity of  phosphofructokinase‑1 (PFK -1) and fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase); it inhibits gluconeogenesis by inhibiting the enzyme, FBPase and activates glycolysis by activating the enzyme PFk -1
