Which of the following statements about gluconeogenesis in animal cells is true?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

C. THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATE to fructose- 6- phosphate is not catalyzed by phosphofructokinase -1, the enzyme involved in glycolysis.

Explanation:

This statement is true as the enzyme involved in this step is FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATASE.

Gluconeogenesis is the coversion of non-carbohydrate molecules (lactic acid, amino acids, glycerol) through the pyruvic acid into glucose in the cells.

This process takes place mainly in the liver and occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low carbohydrate diets.

The pathway of gluconeogenesis involves eleven steps of enzymatic catalyzed reactions.

In the conversion of fructose 1,6- bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is catalyzed by fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and not by phosphofructokinase -1 which is involved in glycolysis. This step is a rate-limiting step of the pathway.

The conversion of glucose-6-phospahte to glucose is not catalyzes by hexokinase but glucose -6- phosphatase.

Geologists, more specifically mineralogists, identify minerals based on ________. A. Optical properties. B. Solid properties. C.

Shkiper50 [21]

The minerals are mostly characterized by the Physical properties (D) which includes the hardness, lustre, density etc. The mineralogists check the detailed view of minerals by using high powered microscope.

The minerals are chemical compounds which are formed as a result of physical processes or geological processes. They mostly occur in crystalline form. For Example: Cacite, Sulfur, Quartz etc $.$

Which of the following is not a macromolecule?

Sindrei [870]

The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
