What is radioactive decay?

Biology
2 answers:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
6 0
Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity or nuclear radiation) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, or a gamma ray or electron in the case of internal conversion. A material containing such unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Certain highly excited short-lived nuclear states can decay through neutron emission, or more rarely, proton emission.

How does the heart provide energy to the body ?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The heart is an amazing organ. It pumps oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout your body to sustain life. This fist-sized powerhouse beats (expands and contracts) 100,000 times per day, pumping five or six quarts of blood each minute, or about 2,000 gallons per day.

Fatty acids are the heart's main source of fuel, although ketone bodies as well as lactate can serve as fuel for heart muscle. In fact, heart muscle consumes acetoacetate in preference to glucose.

The first glycolysis rate-limiting enzyme is under various allosteric regulations. This protein is nearly inactive because of in
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

d. ATP;  Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

Explanation:

Phosphofructokinase-1 is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and ATP. The phosphofructokinase step is the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis.

Phosphofructokinase-1 activity is allosterically regulated. Its activity is increased whenever the cell's ATP supply is depleted or when its breakdown products, ADP and AMP accuulates in he cell. However, it is inhibited when the cell is amply supplied with ATP.

The activity of phosphofructokinase-1 is restored by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, its most potent activator.

From the given options:

a. AMP :::: citrate  is wrong because AMP increases the activity of phosphofructokinase-1 and citrate is not its activator but an inhibitor

b. AMP :::: Fru-2,6-P2  is wrong because AMP increases its activity same as fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

c. ATP :::: citrate  is wrong because both citrate and ATP are inhibitors

d. ATP :::: Fru-2,6-P2  is correct as explained above

e. All of these is wrong because of the other wrong options above.
