Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type

Hello. You forgot to put the image so that this question can be answered, but I will describe what the image shows.

The image shows two types of "cups" that have a type of connection between the two. In cup A there is 1 mole of glucose and 1 mole of fructose. In cup B there is 0.1 mol of glucose and 1.5 mol of fructose.

Answer:

A. Solution A to Solution B

Explanation:

Balance is achieved when the "cup" with the lowest concentration of glucose receives glucose from the "cup" with the highest concentration, to the point that the two glasses establish equal concentrations of glucose between them.

We know that cup B has a lower concentration of glucose, which indicates that the movement of this solute was from cup A towards cup B. With this we can conclude that the letter A is the correct answer.

Which of the statement(s) is (are) not right __________. a. mRNA: contains protein-building instruction b. tRNA: deliver free am

Alina [70]

Hi there!

We can go through the overall function of all three of these:

mRNA: transcribed from the DNA, has the protein's composition written in it, and brings that to a ribosome where the protein will be made

tRNA: looks at the codons (set of 3 nucleotides) on the mRNA and brings amino acids which match up to that codon

rRNA: significant part of the composition of ribosomes

Now, looking at these, and back to the answer choices, we can already see that a, b, and c are correct. d, on the other hand, is incorrect.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this specific problem.
