Choose the ONE BEST answer explaining how oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA levels are balanced to maximize flux through the citrate c

ycle when energy charge in the cell is low.
Oxaloacetate is required for mitochondrial shuttle systems, and therefore it makes sense to activate pyruvate carboxylase by ATP and inhibit it by malate.
None of the answers are correct.
The best way to balance the input of carbon into the citrate cycle is to regulate the production of citrate using vitamins like panthothenic acid, which is the cause of beriberi in southeast asia.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase is activated by CoA but inhibited by its product acetyl- CoA, whereas pyruvate carboxylase is activated by acetyl-CoA to produce more oxaloacetate for the citrate synthase reaction
Under conditions of low energy charge in the cell, it makes sense to stimulate pyruvate decarboxylase so that flux through the citrate cycle is maximal, but when CoA is high, maximize the PDH reaction
Increased NADH levels inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase and thereby restricts flux through the pyruvate carboxylase reaction, this in turn, activates the malate dehydrogenase reaction
Acetyl-CoA can be produced by the degradation of fat, and therefore, it is advantageous to stimulate ketogenesis by increasing the amount of oxaloacetate through activation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction
Pyruvate carboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase both require thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), which facilitates coordinate regulation of the two enzymatic reactions and increased citrate cycle flux.

Which of the following is a plant structure that is involved in asexual production?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

2. Tuber

Explanation:

Reproduction is the process by which living organisms multiply themselves. They do this through two major ways namely: asexually and sexually. Sexual reproduction involves two organisms (male and female) that each donate a gamete (sperm and egg). In plants, the sexual reproductive structure is the FLOWER. The male flower is called STAMEN, while the female flower is called PISTIL.

However, plants can also be propagated asexually by making use of certain plant parts including tubers, leaf etc. TUBER is a structure in plant specifically used to asexually reproduce plants like yam, potato, cassava etc.

The French scientist Jacques Monod famously said, "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." How is
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is : prokaryotic organisms like E. coli and higher organisms share common ancestor.

Explanation:

E. Coli is a prokaryotic organism or bacteria. On the metabolic level these organisms share similar homology with the higher organism other than this these organisms also show same core functions with higher level organisms such as elephant.

These similarities suggest that the all the living organisms share a common ancestor. The french scientist Jacques Monod statement "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." is also based on this notion.
