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.

Sphinxa [80]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

type of soil

type of plants

exposure to sunlight

method for measuring the growth

Answer:

exposure to sunlight

Explanation:

A scientific experiment has an experimental group and a control group. Control group is included to omit any error in results due to the factors other than the variable factor. Experimental group is the one exposed to different levels of the variable factor.

Here, Carlo wants to determine the the effect of day length on plants' growth. The test variable here is thus the duration of sunlight. In experimental group, this duration will be changed to determine its effect. In control group it will be kept constant so that results from other factors can be excluded from the observed experimental result.

konstantin123 [22]

Your answer would be C because A affects the natural environment and can cause harm to it, B would affect the surrounding animal population and cause imbalances in biodiversity if they are not able to eat the foods they are used to, and D is not much of a benefit since you are losing the flavor that is naturally in the plants.
