Why is it essential that the regulatory mechanisms that activate glycogen synthesis also deactivate glycogen phosphorylase?

Biology

Marta_Voda [28]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are two pathways occur in the same cellular compartment, and, if both are on at the same time, a futile ATP hydrolysis cycle results. Using the same mechanism to turn them on/off or off/on is highly efficient.

- "Glycogen Phosphorylase" activity can be allosterically controlled ATP and G6P allosteric inhibitors, AMP allosteric activator as well as, controlled through covalent modification, phosphorylation and via hormones.

- Reaction Catalyzed by Glycogen Synthase:

The activity of glycogen synthase is subject to the same type of covalent modification as glycogen phosphorylase, however, the response is opposite. Glycogen Synthase is activated by G6P. It is also controlled via hormones.

If two different animal species are found to go through equivalent stages of embryonic development until the very last stage, wh
AleksandrR [38]
The answer is <span>A. The two animal species are very closely related.

If the two animal species are very closely related, that means their genome information is very similar and that information for embryonic development is also very similar, but it will not be identical. Stages of embryonic development from the beginning to the end are same only in the same species. In different species, they will differ in lesser or greater extent which depend on how closely this different species are related.</span>
