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.

Which of the following environmental factors likely led to the exponential growth seen in fireweed after the Yellowstone wildfir
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Decrease in competition from other plants.

Explanation:

Decrease in competition from other plants is the environmental factors likely leaf to the exponential growth seen in fireweed after the Yellowstone wildfires because decrease in population from other plants will lead to a particular species dorminating a particular geographical area and this dorminating species are Dorminant when competition has been reduced by wild fire and this will lead to exponential growth where the available resources will be abundance or unlimited or resources increases.

What problem is solved by the linnaean system of classification
MissTica

Due to the linneaus system of classification scientist were able to identify  organism name , group via standardized system . They have found similarities  in the organism  like DNA / RNA ( genetic composition), embryonic development  etc . so that they can study a organism completely . With the help of this system of classification  scientist were able to give a particular name to a organism which is standardrized in the whole universe. It makes easier to all to identify an organism , otherwise different places have different name for a particular species.
