Answer:

D. Phosphorylation by ATP, which turns the complex off, and dephosphorylation, which turns the complex on.

Explanation:

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) is responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA, the fuel for the citric acid cycle.

The regulation of the activity of PDH is allosterically by the products of the reaction which it catalyses. These products are ATP, acetylCoA and NADH. When their is sufficient fuel available for the needs of the cells in the form of ATP, the complex is turned off by phosphorylation of one of the two subunits of E1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase). This phosphorylation inactivates E1. When the concentration of ATP declines, a specific phosphatase removes the phosphoryl group from E1, thereby activating the complex again.

An empty plastic bottle is sealed in a cool room and then moved to a very hot room. What can best be stated about the air pressu
mel-nik [20]
<span>A fast moving stream of air has a lower air pressure than a slower air stream.  As the stream of air moved over the top of the paper, the air pressure over the paper dropped. The air pressure underneath the paper stayed the same.  The greater air pressure underneath lifted the paper strip and it rose. The idea that a moving air stream has lower air pressure than air that is not moving is called “Bernoulli’s Principle”.

</span>The force of the moving air underneath the balloon was enough to hold it up.  The weight added by the paper clip prevents the balloon from going too high.  But that is only part of the story.  The balloon stays inside the moving stream of air because the pressure inside is the air stream is lower than the still air around it. As the balloon moves toward the still air outside of the air stream, the higher pressure of the still air forces the balloon back into the lower pressure of the air stream.  Bernoulli’s Principle at work again!

A gas is a form of matter that _____. (

Fills volume of the container.
Why? Because the gas particles have a very weak force of attraction so they move very freely and so they always fill the volume of containers.
