<span>Since we are not able to get energy directly from the food we eat, a particular process needs to take place that converts molecules to Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP. This requires that the food first be broken down by being digested. As digestion takes place, the body uses the small molecules to make ATP.</span>
Answer:
Notice the large difference in the number of hydrogen ions on the two sides of the membrane. This difference is a hydrogen ion, or proton, concentration gradient. The energy associated with this gradient is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. This occurs at the ATP synthase complex.
Explanation:
Answer:
1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.
2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.
(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in
liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-
bisphosphatase-1 activity
(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
The limitation is that she can't test is on humans for ethical reasons. In order to test this, theoretically, she would need to ask some women to use this cosmetic and compare their fetuses to the fetuses of women who didn't. But this is not likely to be approved by the ethical committee, as causing damage to a fetus is not ethical.
