It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.

Is fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activated, inhibited, or unaffected in response to a glucagon signal?
Crazy boy [7]

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is activated in response to a glucagon signal.

<h3>What is the purpose of Glucagon signals?</h3>
  • Glucagon signals specify that fuel molecules are required in the bloodstream.
  • So these signals activate Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (F1, 6BP) so as to increase the level of sugar and other fuels required for production of energy.
  • In the process of gluconeogenesis, new glucose molecules are synthesized from other non carbohydrate sources.
  • As glucose is required in the bloodstream so F-1, 6BP should be activated as it acts as a rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis.
  • Gluconeogenesis occurs when the dietary intake of glucose is very low.
  • Glucose is required as a source of energy by almost all body cells so in case of less oxygen it is synthesized from other molecules like amino acids.

What determines whether an allele is dominant recessive or codominant?
expeople1 [14]
Based on the gene expression for instance if one parent is tall and and one parent is short it depends if the child is tall or short. if the child is tall then tallness is dominant ans shortness is recessive if the child is short that shortness is dominant and tallness is reccesive. however for codominance its a blending or mixture of both alleles. if a white flour and red a flower are mixed and its offspring is pink that is codominance. hope it helps!

The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen: why do you think plants and animals can't use nitrogen as it is found in the atmosphere?
Setler [38]

Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive

Explanation:

The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.

However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.

Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.

This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen
