Gluconeogenesis shares some, but not all, enzymes with the glycolytic pathway. It would appear to be more efficient if both path

ways used all of the same enzymes since the pathways are essentially the reverses of each other. Why don't both pathways use all of the same enzymes?
A) The reactions where enzymes differ occur in different parts of the cell for glycolysis versus gluconeogenesis.
B) Enzymes can catalyze a reaction only in one direction, so naturally the two pathways have some enzymes that differ.
C) In tissues where gluconeogenesis occurs, the glycolytic enzymes are present at extremely low concentrations.
D) Three of the reaction steps in gluconeogenesis would have prohibitively large, positive free energies if they used glycolytic enzymes for their catalysis.

Answer:

D) Three of the reaction steps in gluconeogenesis would have prohibitively large, positive free energies if they used glycolytic enzymes for their catalysis.

Explanation:

The glycolytic enzymes catalyze the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, while gluconeogenesis enzymes catalyze the formation of carbohydrates from pyruvate.

The leg muscles of a sprinter would differ from a marathon runner in that ________. The leg muscles of a sprinter would differ f
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - per gram, the marathon runner's muscles would contain more myoglobin than the sprinter's muscles.

Explanation:

Marathon runners have smaller leg muscles and thinner quads and calves as marathon runners require slow-twitch muscles while in sprinters the fast-twitch muscle requires. Slow-twitch muscles of marathon runners have more amount of myoglobin, per gram than fast-twitch muscles.

Myoglobin acts as local oxygen storage that provides oxygen to the muscles in case of less oxygen supply than required temporarily and a marathon race is an intense exercise or activity that requires more oxygen.

What would happen if there was a sudden increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere​
Harrizon [31]

There would be a much more severe cause of global warming if there is a sudden increase in greenhouses gases. With greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, the heat of the earth cannot be penetrated through the atmosphere and will be trapped, the sunlight also cannot be reflected.
