Answer:
Glycogen synthase is phosphorylated at only one site.
Explanation:
Glycogen synthase has multiple sites where phosphorylation can occur. Glycogen synthase may have 9 or more sites where it can be phosphorylated as a result of which it's activity is down regulated. It simply means that the regulation of this enzyme does not occur through binary on/off switching, in fact it's activity is modulated over a wide range in response to various signals.
In contrast to glycogen phosphorylase which gets activated when it is phosphorylated at it's serine residues, glycogen synthase gets inactivated by phosphorylation.
As soon as another enzyme GSK3β phosphorylates glycogen synthase, it gets inactivated as a result of which glycogen synthesis halts in the liver.
Answer:
The phenomenon seen by the students is Osmosis.
Explanation:
Osmosis is the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement of molecules occurs in the body cells. When the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell than the inside, the molecules goes inside the cell through semi-permeable membrane.
Less than 5% of the water taken up by roots remains in the plant, that water is vital for plant structure and function. The water is important for driving biochemical processes, but also it creates turgor so that the plant can stand without having actual bones.
2. club fungi
explanation:
Corn smut is caused by Ustilago maydis while wheat rust is caused by Puccinia triticina. Both Ustilago maydis and Puccinia triticina are classified under division Basidiomycota. Basidiomycota is also called as club fungi. These fungi form specific club-shaped fruiting bodies called basidia. Basidia are the site for the formation of basidiospores.
