Answer: c. 2 pyruvate molecules
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the first step it the cell respiration cycle. It turns one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by a series of reactions catalyzed by different enzymes.
It starts by using 2 ATP to turn glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then divides in two and releases 4 ATP when it turns into two pyruvate molecules.
Thus glycolysis consumes 2 ATP and releases 4 ATP (giving a net gain of 2 ATP) and 2 pyruvate molecules.
It is a part of the cell cycle.
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
Artificial human insulin is the advancement of the field of biotechnology. It is the product of recombinant DNA technology. The insulin is a hormone which is secreted by the pancreas to maintain the levels of sugar in the blood. But in some people the secretion of insulin can be found to be low or no insulin is produced at all these are affected by the condition called as diabetes. Thus artificial or synthetic insulin was invented to regulate the blood sugar levels. The artificial insulin is produced in the microbes like yeast and bacteria. The human gene encoding for the production of insulin is inserted into the microbial genome which produces the insulin in the microbial structure.
