MakcuM [25]3 years ago

Answer:

C. THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATE to fructose- 6- phosphate is not catalyzed by phosphofructokinase -1, the enzyme involved in glycolysis.

Explanation:

This statement is true as the enzyme involved in this step is FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATASE.

Gluconeogenesis is the coversion of non-carbohydrate molecules (lactic acid, amino acids, glycerol) through the pyruvic acid into glucose in the cells.

This process takes place mainly in the liver and occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low carbohydrate diets.

The pathway of gluconeogenesis involves eleven steps of enzymatic catalyzed reactions.

In the conversion of fructose 1,6- bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is catalyzed by fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and not by phosphofructokinase -1 which is involved in glycolysis. This step is a rate-limiting step of the pathway.

The conversion of glucose-6-phospahte to glucose is not catalyzes by hexokinase but glucose -6- phosphatase.

Each of the following complications listed below is a result of a homeostatic calcium imbalance. Which would not be life threate
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct option is number 3.  A deficit of appositional bone growth would not be life threatening.

Explanation:

Appositional bone growth can be defined as the thickening of the bones due to increase in the number of bone tissues at the surface. In this kind of bone growth, the diameter of the bone increases rather than the length of the bone. This can lead to deformation of the bone but it is not life-threatening.

Rest of the options 1, 2 and 3 are serious disorders and can eventually lead to death.
