Answer: The liver

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a process by which glucose molecules are produced de Novo (from non carbohydrates precursors such as lactate, glycogenic amino acids, and glycerol).

Only the liver can replenish blood glucose through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.

During prolonged fasting or starvation the protein catabolism is speeded up to provide precursors (glucogenic amino acids) for gluconeogenesis.

Gluconeogenesis occurs mainly in the liver because one of the key enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase needed for glucose synthesis is only present in the liver.

Someone please help me

Answer:

Option B: Molecule 2

Explanation:

'Equilibrium of a molecule inside and outside a cell' means that there are similar numbers of that molecule on the inside and the outside. (hence 'equilibrium')

The number of each molecule is as follows:

Molecule 1 - Inside: 3, Outside: 5

Molecule 2 - Inside: 2, Outside: 3

Molecule 3 - Inside: 1, Outside: 5

Molecule 4 - Inside: 7, Outside: 4

Therefore the correct option is option b. 2

This is because the number of molecules inside the cell and outside the cell are the closest together, most similar out of all the molecules.

Hope this helped!
