Marta_Voda [28]3 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.

Anon25 [30]
<span>Its called Doxycycline-induced esophageal ulcer. Its not common. I have been taking Doxy for many years for acne without any complication. Then one night I took a single pill, drank half a glass of water, and went to bed. I woke up with mild heartburn. A few days later, I was in immense pain. I felt burning up and down my whole chest. I was bloated, gassy, and couldnt burp. The pain was so severe, it caused me have a migrane. The pill dissolved in my esophagus, and caused an ulcer. It was my fault for not drinking a full glass of water, and going straight to bed. Im in treatment now, and am scheduled for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Im feeling a little better already after the first day of treatment, but ulcers take 4-8 weeks to heal.</span>

In which organelle are most molecules of ATP produced by the cell
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Eukaryotic ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.

Explanation:

This ATP production by the mitochondria is done by the process of respiration, which in essence is the use of oxygen in a process which generates energy. Most of the ATP of a eukaryotic organism is made in the mitochondria during the last phase of cellular respiration that is called the electron transport chain (ETC). A mitochondrion is an organelle within a eukaryotic cell.
