The correct answer is that mutant cells will exhibit diminished oxygen consumption; decreased glycolysis results in decreased Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain.

The PFK2 enzyme catalyzes the generation of F26BP, this binds with the allosteric site of PFK-1 and increases the affinity of PFK-1 with F6P and also decreases the affinity of allosteric inhibitors citrate and ATP to PFK-1. Thus, PFK-1 will combine with F6P at a greater rate.

This ultimately results in more glycolysis, thus, more ETC and more consumption of O2. If there is no PFK2, then there will be a reduction in glycolysis, TCA, ETC, and consumption of oxygen.

The PFK2 is an enzyme accountable for monitoring the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in the human body. In the absence of glycolysis, there will be a reduction in TCA, ETC, and consumption of O2.

The myocardium receives its blood supply from the coronary arteries. True or False
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, a muscle responsible for pumping blood through the circulatory system through contraction. It receives a part of the large volume of blood that passes through the atria and ventricles. A system of arteries and veins (coronary circulation) provides the myocardium with oxygen-rich blood and allows the return of venous or oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium. The right coronary artery and the left coronary artery are the branches of the aorta responsible for the blood supply.
