The pancreas is a six-inch-long gland located in your abdomen near your liver and part of the small intestine. It’s nestled right behind and slightly below your stomach and in front of your spine. The head of the pancreas is along the curve of your duodenum, the first part of the small intestine just beyond the stomach.

The pancreas plays a dual role in your bodily functions:

Endocrine system. The pancreas secretes hormones, including the blood sugar-regulating hormones: insulin and glucagon.
Exocrine system. The pancreas also secretes enzymes into your digestive tract through a duct into your duodenum.

How many atp equivalents are consumed in the conversion of each of the following to a glucosyl residue in glycogen?

Nina [5.8K]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate - 1

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate - 1

Pyruvate - 13

G-6-P - 1

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

1) Dihydroxyacetone phosphate = 1

G1P + GTP --> UDPG + PPi two P is equivalent to 2 ATP --->2 ADP + Pi) Therefore, two ATP equivalents - but UDP is the product and only one P needed

2 DHAP --> F1,6-BP -->F6P --> G6P -->G1P -->UDPG --> glucosyl residue

2) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate = 1

3) Pyruvate = 13

2 pyr + 2 ATP --> 2 OAA

2 OAA + 2 GTP --> 2 PEP

2 PEP --> 2 2PG --> 2 3PG

2 3PG + 2 ATP --> 2 1,3 BPG

2 1,3 BPG + 2 NADH --> 2 G3P

2 NADH = 6 ATP

2 G3P --> DHP + G3P --> FDP -- > F6P + P

F6P --> G6P --> G1P

G1P + UTP --> UDPG + PP

4) Glucose-6-phosphate = 1

G6P -->G1P G1P + UTP --> UDP-GLC + 2 Pi

UDP-Glc + glycogen --> glycogen+ 1 Glc

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

There are three types of neurons are present i. e. sensory neuron, motor neurons and inter neurons.

Explanation:

Sensory neurons are the nerve cells which is responsible for sending the information from the sense organs such as tongue, nose, skin, ears, and eyes to the spinal cord and the brain while the motor neurons are responsible for the transportation of instruction from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles. The inter neuron helps in communication between motor or sensory neuron and the nervous system.
