Answer:

a. inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that converts cAMP to AMP.

Explanation:

The phosphodiesterases are a group of enzymes that are capable of breaking phosphodiester bonds such as those between nucleotides in nucleic acids. The Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger involved in intracellular signaling pathways. This molecule (cAMP) is hydrolyzed by the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the enzymatic breakdown of phosphodiester bonds (i.e., hydrolyzing cAMP to 5-AMP). The cAMP levels are modulated by the balance between its generation and the degradation via cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

What type of organisms was most likely feeding on this sample ?
jek_recluse [69]
I think Number C is right because Since the organism eukaryotic we can safely assume that it is neither an archaea nor a bacteria since they are both prokaryotes. Secondly, since it can not photosynthesize, it can't be a plant because all plants can photosynthesize. The presence of a cell wall tells us that it can't be an animal cell since they lack cell walls. Therefore, the organism found is a fungus-like protist. Fungi are prokaryotic cells that are unable to photosynthesize and they have cell walls.
