Answer and explanation;
-Strong acids and bases are defined as compounds that completely ionize in water or aqueous solution. Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
A strong acid will fully dissociate in water to form H+ ions.
HCl + H2O---> H3O+ + Cl-
This reaction is non-reversible. After dissolution, only a very very minute concentration of HCl itself remains in the solution, as most of the diluted HCl has dissolved into ions.
Ka = [H+] [Cl-] / [HCl]
The same applied for bases. The only difference is that the base dissociates to form OH- ions instead.
Strong and weak bases will depend likewise on whether the reaction is reversible.
A strong base will completely dissociate to give more OH- ions.
An example of a strong base;
NaOH + H2O ---> Na+ + OH- + H2O
Kb = [Na+] [OH-] / [NaOH]
Each individual experiences grief in a distinct manner. Usually, a person experiences grief in cycles or waves. This means that there is the duration of painful and intense feelings, which come and go.
There are certain factors or ways by which an individual experiences grief. These are:
1. The association of a grieving person had with the person whose death had taken place.
2. The reason of death, that is, the process of grieving may differ on the basis of whether the person death has taken place suddenly or whether the person was ill for a longer time period.
3. Even the grieving experience is shaped by the individual's culture and society. Every culture has its own array of rituals or beliefs for bereavement and death. This also influences that how the individual encounters and experience grief.
Answer:
b. Phosphofructokinase; Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
Explanation:
Glucagon is a hormone which functions to initiate gluconeogenesis whwreas insulin functions to initiate glycolysis.
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F26BP) is an allosteric regulator of the <em>glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-1).</em>
It stimulates glycolysis and inhibits gluconeogenesis by binding to its allosteric site on phosphofructokinase-1 reducing its affinity for the allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate .
It is formed by phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by <em>phosphofructokinase-2</em> and is broken down by <em>fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase </em>which are two separate enzymatic activities of a single, bifunctional protein (PFK-2/FBPase-2).
Phosphorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 due to glucagon release enhances its FBPase-2 activity thereby stimulating gluconeogenesis and inhibiting glycolysis.
Dephosphsorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 due to insulin release enhances its PFK-2 activity, thereby stimulating glycolysis and inhibiting gluconeogenesis.
