Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate,

an early step of glycolysis. An increased accumulation of ATP (an allosteric regulator of PFK) would be expected to...

b activate the enzyme and slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
c. inhibit the enzyme and thus increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
d. activate the enzyme and increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
e. ATP would have no effect on the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Answer:

The correct answer is a Inhibit the enzyme and slow the rates of Glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

ATP accumulation result in blocking the activity of the rate limiting enzyme  of glycolysis  Phosphofructokinase that catalyses the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose -1,6-bisphosphate .

            ATP is an Allosteric inhibitor of Phosphofructokinase enzyme and this enzymatic inhibition decreases the rate of glycolysis and as the rate of glycolysis decreases the rate of TCA cycle is also decreased because TCA cycle  depends on glycolytic end product Pyruvate. As glycolysis rate is decreased pyruvate is not formed in a sufficient amount to carry out its conversion to Acetyl CoA  and enters into TCA Cycle.

Why is cryptozoology not considered a true science
irga5000 [103]
Cryptzoology is not considered a science, because some don't take it seriously, and scientists do not have a perfect explanation for it. So it is considered a psuedoscience.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The claim is invalid because there are many types of bacteria that help  organisms maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Bacteria are often considered to be disease or infection-causing organisms but this is not true. Not all bacteria are harmful, many other bacteria's play essential roles in the maintenance of life on the Earth. The human body is made of many bacteria which help in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The human body is surrounded by enormous bacteria that are good and they are termed as human's natural microbiota.

A male cardinal’s red color is an example of a trait affected by natural selection. The females of the species choose mates base
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<em>decreased variation in the shades of red over time because no form of the trait is advantageous</em>

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment. These organisms are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings.

The red colour of the male cardinal's was selected by natural selection and hence this colour was abundant. If the females choose some other criteria for mating with males, then natural selection will no longer favor the red colour and hence there will be a decrease in the variations of red coloiur.
