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.

Greetings!

Oil spills can do a lot of damage to the ocean, and can (of course) kill, or harm a lot of sea life. This might include otters, shrimp, and many other forms of sea life below the surface. On top of that, it takes months, or even years to clean up an oil spill. 

Hope this helps!

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Diploid

Explanation:

Almost all the animals have a diploid-dominant life cycle. In the early stage of embryo development, the germ cells are made in gonads which undergoes mitosis and meiosis to make more germ cells and haploid gametes respectively. So the resulting zygote formed by fertilization having 46 chromosomes, 23 from each human sperm and eggs. That the reason why the resulting zygote have the characteristic number of chromosomes of that particular species.

sp2606 [1]
<h3>Duplication requires the separation of complementary DNA strands to allow for DNA replication. </h3>

Explanation:

Several interacting forces such as Vanderwaal's forces, hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds  stabilize the DNA double helix structure.The strands of DNA double helix are held together by the hydrogen bond between the corresponding nucleotide bases. The separation of complimentary strands occur during replication because breaking the hydrogen bonds are comparatively easier than breaking any other bond stabilizing the DNA double helix.
