Answer:1)Hexokinase

2)Phosphofructokinase (PFK)

3)Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The most important means of releasing energy from the glucose molecule is initiated by glycolysis.Glycolysis means splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.The end products of glycolysis are then oxidized to provide energy.

Three reactions of glycolysis are highly exogernic,resulting in highly negative free energy changes that are irreversible and must be bypassed by different enzymes.These enzymes are hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase(PFK) and pyruvate kinase.

When the body's stores of carbohydrates decrease below normal,moderate quantities of glucose can be formed from amino acids and the glycerol portion of fat.This process is called gluconeogenesis. It is an important pathway that allows the body to store needed energy for the brain in the form if glucose.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:  It will slow down.

Explanation:  This is because the same amount of blood that usually goes through will have to fit through a blocked vessel.  Only a little will be able to go through at one time, causing the blood flow on the other side to slow.

(That is really dangerous.  The build-up will eventually burst the vessel)  Just an FYI

Why can genes be considered derived characters?
aev [14]

A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.
