Answer:

The correct option is <em>D. They will shrink.</em>

Explanation:

An isotonic solution can be described as a solution in which the number of solutes is the same among two solutions or barriers. As a result, no concentration gradient is developed in the two cells and hence, no exchange of solutes occurs in between them.

If the solutes are increased in the solution, then the amount of solutes will be more outside the cell as compared to the inside of the cell. As a result, a concentration gradient will develop which will lead to moving out the solvent from the cells. Hence, the cells will shrink.

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate,
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The correct answer is a Inhibit the enzyme and slow the rates of Glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

ATP accumulation result in blocking the activity of the rate limiting enzyme  of glycolysis  Phosphofructokinase that catalyses the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose -1,6-bisphosphate .

            ATP is an Allosteric inhibitor of Phosphofructokinase enzyme and this enzymatic inhibition decreases the rate of glycolysis and as the rate of glycolysis decreases the rate of TCA cycle is also decreased because TCA cycle  depends on glycolytic end product Pyruvate. As glycolysis rate is decreased pyruvate is not formed in a sufficient amount to carry out its conversion to Acetyl CoA  and enters into TCA Cycle.

What makes a nerve cell and skin cell have different functions in the body?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Their genes are expressed differently.

Explanation:

Nerve cells and skin cells have the same genes, but the reason they're different is because of how those genes are expressed and used. Some genes may not be of importance of skin, but they might have an affect on the neural pathways.
