Answer:

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a positive regulator of glycolysis and a negative regulator of gluconeogenesis.

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase-1.

When fructose-2,6-bisphosphate binds to its allosteric site on PFK-1, it increases the enzymes affinity for its substrate fructose-6- phosphate and reduces its affinity for ATP and citrate, its allosteric inhibitors. This favors favors glycolysis.

However, binding of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate on its allosteric site on FBpase-1 has the opposite effect on it. It reduces its affinity for its substrate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, thereby inibiting gluconeogenesis.

Earthquakes occur along faults because they're under pressure.
Faults are cracks in the Earth where the tectonic plates are moving in different directions, thus there is a pressure.

What is responsible for transport of amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

UkoKoshka [18]

Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules carry the coding sequences for protein synthesis and are called transcripts; ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules form the core of a cell's ribosomes (the structures in which protein synthesis takes place); and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

A plastic bottle contains 32.5 L of gas at a pressure of 45.7 kPa and

Monica [59]

Answer:

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 32.5 Liters

Initial pressure = 45.7 kPa

Final volume = 4.1 Liters

To find the final pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$
