Answer:

The correct answer is d FBP is a potent allosteric activator of phosphofructokinase and inhibitor of fructose bisphosphatase

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6 bisphosphate is formed from fructose-6-phosphate by the catalytic activity of phosphofructokinase 2 .The so formed fructose-2,6- bisphosphate activates the enzyme phosphofructokinase 1 resulting in conversion of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to fructose -1,-bisphosphate.This is an important example of feed forward activation.

   On the other hand FBP act as an inhibitor of fructose bisphosphatase thus slowing down the rate of gluconeogenesis.

How do proteins utilize the energy from ATP?
Rashid [163]
Hello.

TP is a molecule with adenosine and three phosphate groups attached to it (adenosine triphosphate). To get energy from ATP, one of the bonds between the phosphates is broken, yielding energy and the molecule ADP - adenosine diphosphate, a molecule with adenosine and two phosphates. 

<span>In order to 'recharge' the molecule, a phosphate group is re-attached to ADP by ATP-synthase to yield ATP. In other words, energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates, and breaking the bond releases that energy.

The muscle cells divide through Mitosis, a cellular division comprised of several other substeps. 

The final step of the cell division is the cytokinesis by which two new cells are formed from cell with a multiple number of nucleus after the replication process. This steps follow the telophase.

“Genes and environmental effects are often part of the explanation. “

“...disease-causing alleles of one gene may be suppressed by alleles of another gene elsewhere in the genome, or a person's overall health may influence the strength of a disease phenotype.”
