Which process is an example of an exothermic reaction?

The processes of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are said to be reciprocally regulated.Reciprocal regulation means thata) molecul

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are coordinated so that within a cell one pathway is relatively inactive while the other is highly active. If both sets of reactions were highly active at the same time, the net result would be the hydrolysis of four nucleotide triphosphates (two ATP plus two GTP) per reaction cycle. Both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are highly exergonic under cellular conditions, and so there is no thermodynamic barrier to such simultaneous activity. However, the amounts and activities of the distinctive enzymes of each pathway are controlled so that both pathways are not highly active at the same time. The rate of glycolysis is also determined by the concentration of glucose, and the rate of gluconeogenesis by the concentrations of lactate and other precursors of glucose.

The interconversion of fructose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is stringently controlled (Figure 16.30). As discussed in Section 16.2.1, AMP stimulates phosphofructokinase, whereas ATP and citrate inhibit it. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, on the other hand, is inhibited by AMP and activated by citrate. A high level of AMP indicates that the energy charge is low and signals the need for ATP generation. Conversely, high levels of ATP and citrate indicate that the energy charge is high and that biosynthetic intermediates are abundant. Under these conditions, glycolysis is nearly switched off and gluconeogenesis is promoted.

How many moles of carbon do you have in a trillion carbon

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$1.7\times 10^{-12}$ moles of carbon

Explanation:

1 trillion = $10^{12}$

Avogadro number :It is the number of particles that are present in 1 mole of substance.

$N_{0} = 6.022\times 10^{23}$

So,

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms = 1 mole carbon

1 atom =

$\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$ mole

1 trillion atom =

$\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 10^{12}$ mole

$1.660\times 10^{-12}$ mol

Two significant figure

$1.7\times 10^{-12}$ moles of carbon

An astronaut leaves the International Space Station (ISS) on a tethered line. Although ISS and Earth exert gravitational force o

dexar [7]

Answer: D)The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut.

Explanation:

The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut. Gravity is a very weak force and varies with mass and the inverse square of distance. The astronaut's distance from Earth and the relative small mass of ISS result in gravitational force near zero.

What the sample will look like after the temperature is increased from 300 K to 450 KK at constant pressure?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The sample will look expanded and occupy more space.

Explanation:

Since, the pressure is constant here, but the temperature is changed. Therefore, according to Charles' Law Volume is directly proportional to Temperature, provided the pressure is kept constant. Mathematically:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1 = (T1/T2)(V2)

V1 = (300 k/450 k)(V2)

The equation indicates that The fina volume of the gas V2 will be greater than the initial volume V1. <u>Thus, sample will look expanded and occupy more space than the previous state.</u>
