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.

Answer:

Differentiated cells have retained all their genetic potential

Explanation:

Differentiated cells are important in a multicellular organism because they are able to perform a specialised function in the body. Multicellular organisms must therefore retain some unspecialised cells that can replenish cells when needed. These unspecialised cells are called stem cells.

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.

Yuri [45]
<span>Zookeepers have a difficulty of keeping koala bears alive because Koala bears are susceptible to viral infections. There is a virus that is present to Koalas which is called the Koala retrovirus. Koala retrovirus makes a Koala bear more susceptible to infections and even cancer. </span>
