Since both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are irreversible processes, there is no thermodynamic barrier to their simultaneous op

eration. However, it is important for the cell not to run both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis at high rates simultaneously. Which of the following is a reason for this?
a. More pyruvate is consumed in one round of gluconeogenesis than is produced in one round of glycolysis.
b. A net loss of 2 ATP would occur for each simultaneous round of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
c. A net loss of 4 ATP would occur for each simultaneous round of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
d. Both the first and second answers are correct.
e. Both the first and third answers are correct.

Answer:C

Explanation:

It is important for the cell not to activate glycolysis and gluconeogenesis at high rate simultaneously because it is expensive for the cell.

In the break down of one molecule of glucose to pyruvate, one ATP is used in the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate and one ATP is used in the conversion of fructose-1-phoshate to fructose-1,6-biphosohate. While a total of four ATPs are produced.

Making it a net gain of 2 ATP in glycolysis.

Gluconeogenesis  produces no ATP and requires equivalents of 6 ATP (4 ATP and 2GTP) for one molecule of glucose produced.

(Glycolysis +2ATP) + (gluconeogenesis -6ATP) = -4ATP

There's a net loss of 4ATP if both reactions are activated simultaneously.

Answer:

Adding a lake near any town will most likely increase rainfall because of the added water, and water vapor levels will also increase. Because of the excess water in the environment, more water will be found in the surrounding atmosphere (the same reason precipitation will increase in the area.)

Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. transmission genetics

B. population genetics

C. molecular genetics

D. genomics

E. molecular genetics

Explanation:

Transmission genetics can be defined as the study of the mechanisms involved in the inheritance of genetic material by offspring from parents. This discipline started with the discovery of inherited characteristics in pea plants by Mendel (1865).

Population genetics is a subdiscipline of genetics that studies genetic variation within and between populations. Population genetics is an area that explains how allele and genotypic frequencies change across time, thereby this subdiscipline is closely linked to evolutionary biology.

Genomics is a broad area of genetics that studies the function, evolution, structure, function, mapping and comparison of genomes (i.e., the whole genetic material contained in each cell of a given organism). This discipline aims at understanding entire gene pools. Genomics includes different research areas including structural genomics, functional genomics, epigenomics and metagenomics.

Molecular genetics is a sub-discipline of genetics that studies the mechanisms involved in preserving the genetic material (i.e., DNA and RNA), and to understand how the structure and expression of the genetic material influence the observed variation among organisms.
