The carboxylation of pyruvate by pyruvate carboxylase occurs at a very low rate unless acetyl-CoA, a positive allosteric modulat

or, is present. If you have just eaten a meal rich in fatty acids (triacylglycerols) but low in carbohydrates (glucose), how does this regulatory property shut down the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ and H₂O but increase the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from fatty acids?

Answer:

The mechanism shut down the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H2O but increases the oxidation of acetyl CoA derived from fatty acids by Tri carboxylic acid cycle.

Explanation:

When a person eat meal rich in fatty acid,the ingested fatty acid will undergo breakdown to form large amount of acetyl CoA.The so formed Acetyl CoA  undergo oxidation by TCA cycle to generate CO2 and H2O.

   on the other hand when a person has eaten a meal that is low in carbohydrates(glucose),at that time less glucose molecule will undergo glycolysis and oxidative de carboxylation to form less amount of acetyl CoA.The acetyl CoA accumulates rather than going further oxidation.

   As the meal contain  low amount of glucose after a certain period of time the glucose level will be depleted.So to maintain homeostasis of body glucose level the gluconeogenesis process is stimulated.

 The conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate,one of the most important reaction of gluconeogenesis is boosted by the  high cellular level of  accumulated acetyl CoA.

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.

Write about how the group of rock layers in record a forme include tilting erosion and folding
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Most sedimentary rocks are formed in level layers. Therefore, the occurrence of tilted rock layers is evidence of mountain building. ... Tilting can also result when rocks are pushed upward, or uplifted. In some areas of the world, rock layers are so severely tilted that they may be bottom side up. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.
