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.

Hormones play an important role in regulating blood glucose levels. for example:
Kryger [21]

 

Hormones play important roles in regulating blood glucose levels. For example, (i) the hormone insulin regulate blood glucose levels by suppressing the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and of adipose tissue into free fatty acids. (ii) The hormone asprosin regulate blood glucose levels by enhancing the release of liver glucose during fasting.

Describe the terms, evolution, adaption, and natural selection.
Vanyuwa [196]
Evolution- the change in a species over time Adaptation- a change in a species that betters their survival
Natural selection- the idea that organisms that aren’t fit for the environment die off and only the organisms fit for the environment survive and can pass there traits to the next generations. Hope this helps at least get you started! :))

Explain how the exclusive of fertilizer affects the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorus cycle
nasty-shy [4]

Disrupts the nitrogen cycle by contaminating the groundwater and making it more difficult for the plants to absorb the nitrogen and causes the phosphorus cycle to accelerate, resulting in an excess of phosphorus in water and soil.
