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.

Which is NOT an example of a biome? (Hint: Biomes are very large ecological areas on the earth’s surface, with fauna and flora (

scoray [572]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{Lake}}$

Explanation:

A Lake Is -Not- A Biome

Biomes: Temperate Deciduous Forest, Coniferous Forest, Woodland, Chaparral, Tundra, Grassland, Desert, Tropical Savanna

A lake is not a biome. A lake can be found in a biome, but a lake is not itself a biome. A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. Yes, similar species can be found living in a lake, but a lake can be found in a particular biome where there are lots more of the same species.

All of the chemical reactions within an organism is known as

Usimov [2.4K]

Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is called metabolism.Metabolism includes both exothermic (energy-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (energy-absorbing) chemical reactions.

Behavioral responses in organisms require communication between

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Behavioral responses in organisms require communication between an organism and its environment (option C).

Explanation:

The behavior of an organism depends on the function of relationship with the environment that surrounds it, and the way to respond to the diverse stimuli that are in this environment.

Behavioral responses always occur as a result of the interaction between the physical environment and other living organisms. This interaction triggers a series of stimuli that are perceived by the senses and processed by each organism, developing an appropriate response to each of them.
