Answer: Glycolysis is stimulated by a high concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, and the gluconeogenesis is stimulated by a low concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.
Explanation: Fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate (F2, 6P) is an allosteric activator of the key enzyme in the glycolysis cycle, phosphofructokinase (PFK). F2, 6P also acts as an inhibitor of fructose bisphosphate phosphatase (FBPase) in gluconeogenesis. The concentration of F2, 6P is governed by the balance between its synthesis and breakdown, catalysed by phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK-2) and fructose-bisphosphatase-2 (FBPase-2), respectively. These enzymes are found in a dimeric protein and are controlled by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms. Phosphorylation of the dimeric protein results in an increased concentration of FBPase-2, leading to a decreased concentration of F2, 6P, thus activating the gluconeogenesis cycle. The concentration of PFK-2 is increased when the dephosphorylation of the dimeric protein takes place, leading to the increased concentration of F2, 6P, thus stimulating glycolysis cycle.

Physical change can return back to its original form while a chemical change cannot
Answer;
-(3) an atom in an excited state
Explanation;
-An electron in a sodium atom gains enough energy to move from the second shell to the third shell. The sodium atom becomes an atom in an excited state.
-Ground state is the lowest allowable energy state of an atom. When electrons are subjected to stimuli like heat, light or electricity an electron may jump to a higher energy level, which is the excited state. Excitation is the elevation in energy level above the baseline energy state.
