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.

Match the changed nucleotide sequence to the mutations that cause them
Elis [28]

Answer:

Una mutación es un cambio en el ADN, el material hereditario de los seres vivos. El ADN de un organismo influye en su aspecto físico, en su comportamiento y en su fisiología — en todos los aspectos de su vida. Por lo tanto, un cambio en el ADN de un organismo puede producir cambios en todos los aspectos de su vida.

Leaves need to be elevated so they are exposed so they are exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis. Which part of the stem grows
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span>A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. The stem is normally divided into nodes and internodes. The nodes hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, conifer cones, roots, other stems, or flowers (inflorescences); the internodes distance one node from another.</span>

Vlad [161]
Predation


It can be explained in that way or also called Predatory/prey relationships.
Parasitism is when one is benefited and the other harmed (ie leech and human)
Commensalism is when one is benefited and the other not affected (Tree frog and rainforest tree)
Mutualism is when both are benefited (Bee eats honey and Flower is pollinated).
