Answer:
Plasmin
Explanation:
Plasmin is a serine protease also referred to as fibrin digesting enzyme, it is responsible for the dissolving or degradation of blood clot. The process by which plasmin degrades blood clot is called fibrinolysis. Note that plasmin (active) is formed from an inactive enzyme called plasminogen.
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.
It would mix faster in the hot water because it moves free and more faster with a bunch of water vapor coming off of it
Answer:
Predator prey
Explanation:
Animals that feed on other animals are called predators and the animals they eat are called prey. All predators have specific interactions with their prey as they are locked in an evolutionary "arms race". The prey will try to develop novel traits to survive as the predators will try to adapt to these. This is not a conscious process, but rather an evolutionary one, where prey individuals that have a survival advantage will survive and thus reproduce more.
The second image illustrates a predator-prey cycle where an increase in the prey numbers will lead to an increase in the predator numbers. This in turn will lead to a decrease in the prey number which in turn will also lead to a decrease in the predator's numbers.
The third image is a trophic or ecological pyramid in which X are the primary producers (ex. plants), Y are the animals that feed on these (prey) and Z are the predators that feed on Y. In general, top predators are not hunted and eaten by other species which is why they are at the top of the pyramid.
