Answer:
C. THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATE to fructose- 6- phosphate is not catalyzed by phosphofructokinase -1, the enzyme involved in glycolysis.
Explanation:
This statement is true as the enzyme involved in this step is FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATASE.
Gluconeogenesis is the coversion of non-carbohydrate molecules (lactic acid, amino acids, glycerol) through the pyruvic acid into glucose in the cells.
This process takes place mainly in the liver and occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low carbohydrate diets.
The pathway of gluconeogenesis involves eleven steps of enzymatic catalyzed reactions.
In the conversion of fructose 1,6- bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is catalyzed by fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and not by phosphofructokinase -1 which is involved in glycolysis. This step is a rate-limiting step of the pathway.
The conversion of glucose-6-phospahte to glucose is not catalyzes by hexokinase but glucose -6- phosphatase.
I believe the answer is linear :)
Answer:
Scientists discovered mechanisms that protect tapeworms from being digested by their host. ... They also needed a mechanism to protect themselves from intestinal substances, specifically from digestive enzymes. One of such enzymes called trypsin breaks down proteins.
Explanation:
For example:Parasites can hide away from the immune system by invading immune-privileged tissue such as the central nervous system or the eye (Bhopale 2003). Also some parasitoids place their eggs inside tissue such as the fat body that is not well patrolled by the host's immune system
