Why is dna smaller than rna?
Elis [28]
No it’s the other way around .

RNA is much shorter than DNA. DNA contains the code for making lots and lots of different proteins. Messenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain - in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain.

Since both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are irreversible processes, there is no thermodynamic barrier to their simultaneous op
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:C

Explanation:

It is important for the cell not to activate glycolysis and gluconeogenesis at high rate simultaneously because it is expensive for the cell.

In the break down of one molecule of glucose to pyruvate, one ATP is used in the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate and one ATP is used in the conversion of fructose-1-phoshate to fructose-1,6-biphosohate. While a total of four ATPs are produced.

Making it a net gain of 2 ATP in glycolysis.

Gluconeogenesis  produces no ATP and requires equivalents of 6 ATP (4 ATP and 2GTP) for one molecule of glucose produced.

(Glycolysis +2ATP) + (gluconeogenesis -6ATP) = -4ATP

There's a net loss of 4ATP if both reactions are activated simultaneously.
