Citrate synthase is regulated by another metabolite that has the opposite effect (i.e., stimulates citrate synthase). Choose the

description of a condition where a positive regulator activates citrate synthase.
(A) Low [ATP/ADP] ratio. ADP is an allosteric activator of citrate synthase.
(B) High [ATP/ADP] ratio.
(C) High ATP substrate levels favor product formation.
(D) High [ NADH / NAD ] ratio. NADH is a positive allosteric activator.
(E) High [citrate]. Citrate is a positive allosteric activator.

Answer:

Option A, Low [ATP/ADP] ratio. ADP is an allosteric activator of citrate synthase.

Explanation:

Allosteric activators are the ones that have ability to enhance the activity of a protein. These activators change the shape of active site by binding to some other site. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is inhibited when the ratio of ATP to ADP gets high. When acetyl-CoA combines with  oxaloacetic acid to form citrate, it is inhibited by high level of ADP, ATP and NADH. Since ATP and ADP are final product of citric acid cycle, these work as allosteric activator and hence reduce the rate of cycle  

Hence, option A is correct

Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by _____.Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a. Ligase

b. Ligase ( it's repeated)

Explanation:

DNA synthesis begins, therefore, by synthesizing a short segment of RNA called a primer, which primer is synthesized by an enzyme called Primasa. Primasa is an RNA polymerase that uses DNA as a template. All fragments of Okazaki begin with a Primer. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase III Holoenzyme performs the synthesis of the corresponding DNA fragment until it reaches the next primer. At that time, DNA polymerase Ia replaces the DNA polymerase Holoenzyme III. The DNA polymerase I is responsible for removing the RNA primer through its 5'P-3'OH exonueotic activity and at the same time fills the hole by synthesizing DNA.

Finally, the two Okazaki fragments have to be joined, it is necessary to link the 3'OH end of a fragment with the 5'P of the next fragment. This work of sealing and joining the successive fragments is done by Ligase.
