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.

Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.

I hope it helps!

Glycolysis is a part of cellular respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process - it does not need oxygen to proceed. ... They follow glycolysis with the Krebs cycle and electron transport to make more ATP than by glycolysis alone. Cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration.
