Answer:

b. Phosphofructokinase;  Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase

Explanation:

Glucagon is a hormone which functions to initiate gluconeogenesis whwreas insulin functions to initiate glycolysis.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F26BP) is an allosteric regulator of the <em>glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-1).</em>

It stimulates glycolysis and inhibits gluconeogenesis by binding to its allosteric site on phosphofructokinase-1 reducing its affinity for the allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate .

It is formed by phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by  <em>phosphofructokinase-2</em> and is broken down by <em>fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase </em>which are two separate enzymatic activities of a single, bifunctional protein (PFK-2/FBPase-2).

Phosphorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 due to glucagon release enhances its FBPase-2 activity thereby stimulating gluconeogenesis and inhibiting glycolysis.

Dephosphsorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 due to insulin release enhances its PFK-2 activity, thereby stimulating glycolysis and inhibiting gluconeogenesis.

Females have two of the same kind of s3x chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic s3x. Males have two different kinds of s3x chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic s3x.

Explanation:

You can tell the cell was taken by a man and not from a woman because it has XY chromosomes
