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.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C/D

Explanation:

Most of the carbohydrates in the foods you eat are digested and broken down into glucose before entering the bloodstream. Glucose in the blood is taken up into your body's cells and used to produce a fuel molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a series of complex processes known as cellular respiration.

(SUMMARIZED ANSWER: One of the primary functions of carbohydrates is to provide your body with energy. Most of the carbohydrates in the foods you eat are digested and broken down into glucose before entering the bloodstream)

Why is e = hv important in pv cell considerations?
Zanzabum
E=hv is an equation important when dealing with light. E refers to the energy of a photon; h is Planck's constant and v is the wavelength. According to this equation, light particles called photons travels in packets of energy. This is important in pv cells because this is the technology used to harness solar energy which is converted to electricity. The amount of energy should be estimated to know the appropriate material of construction of the pv cell to achieve optimum conditions. In this way, the pv cell could maximize the sun's energy.
