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.

If a cell with 36 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes will each of the two new cells have?
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 36 chromosomes

Explanation: Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic or body cells. In mitosis, and a cell undergoes division to produce two daughter cells each with the same number of chromosome as the parent cells. Mitosis produces diploid cells and diploid cells are cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. For example in humans, somatic cells with 46 chromosomes undergo mitosis to produce two daughter cells each with 46 chromosomes.

A scientist studying Florida panthers makes many observations of a population over the course of several years. What is the scie
Afina-wow [57]

By studying the population over an extended period of time, scientists can discover the change in number of population and its growth.

Florida panther population is listed as endangered, but it is estimated that the number is recovering. The population had grown from about 25 adults in 1995 to roughly 100 in 2010. The updated estimates from the 2017. calculated the number between 120 – 230 panthers which is still not a sustainable population size.

topjm [15]

Complete Question:

Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?

(A) Increased activation of the immune system

(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys

(C) Increased bone and collagen formation

(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells

Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.

Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).

Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.

However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.
