Answer:
The article is not reflecting current knowledge.
Explanation:
Rick Potts had explained some thing which has already been established and published several years back by various scientist, researchers, biologist, ecologists and geologist.
Re publishing something again will not bring laurel to Pott, instead his article would not be considered a suitable article for reference.
Also , if Pott would have published any thing that talks of a way ahead of those previous publication, even then his article could be referred.
Answer:
There are two pathways occur in the same cellular compartment, and, if both are on at the same time, a futile ATP hydrolysis cycle results. Using the same mechanism to turn them on/off or off/on is highly efficient.
- "Glycogen Phosphorylase" activity can be allosterically controlled ATP and G6P allosteric inhibitors, AMP allosteric activator as well as, controlled through covalent modification, phosphorylation and via hormones.
- Reaction Catalyzed by Glycogen Synthase:
The activity of glycogen synthase is subject to the same type of covalent modification as glycogen phosphorylase, however, the response is opposite. Glycogen Synthase is activated by G6P. It is also controlled via hormones.
A little percent of it (around 9.5%) goes to recycling while a large percent goes to the landfill, ocean and beaches, where it will take years for the plastic to decompose and leak pollutants into the soil and water, <span>threatening the health and safety of marine life. There is a new recycling method where the plastics are shredded and mix with the other components to make hollow blocks for construction of structures.</span>
