The answer is D.
Picture it like PAC-man
. The enzyme is pac-man and its hungry for a substrate. It's mouth is the active site. The substrates are cherries.
Answer:
Try B. C and D are helping stop global warming and A isn't as much of a factor
Answer:
Once starch reaches small intestine, it needs to be broken down into smaller units with the help of <u>hydrolysis reaction</u>. Pancreatic amylase catalyzes this reaction which ultimately breaks down glycosidic bonds present in starch molecule to produce simpler bio-molecules like maltose, dextrin etc.
Uses of carbohydrate in body:
(1) It is primary source of energy in the body;
(2) It is required by the body for storage of energy in the form of glycogen;
(3) In plants, it is required for building cellular structures like cellulose.
Explanation:
In order for starch to be digested in the intestine, it needs to be hydrolyzed with the help of pancreatic amylase. The hydrolysis reaction breaks the glycosidic bonds of starch molecule which is a polymer leading to the release of smaller molecules like dextrin, maltose etc. Maltose which is a disaccharide is further broken down into even smaller monomeric units like glucose with the help of enzyme known as maltase.
After conversion into monomeric unit i.e. glucose now it can be absorbed by the blood stream. The blood transports these small glucose molecules to all the cells of the body. After entering the cell, the glucose is used for the production of energy/ATP via cellular respiration.
During cellular respiration, the glucose is first converted into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate then enters PDH complex wherein it is oxidatively carboxylated into acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl coenzyme A produced then enters TCA cycle and produce high energy molecules like NADH, FADH₂ and ATP. The NADH and FADH₂ then finally enter electron transport chain (ETC) so as to produce ATPs. These ATPs are then utilized by our body for our day to day activities.
Answer:
The reactions of glycolysis that are shared with those in gluconeogenesis (ie use the same enzymes) are those that Are regulated steps.
Explanation:
Glycolisis and gluconeogenesis are two mechanisms related to the carbohydrates metabolism. Sometimes they are considered reverse processes. However, they are different because of the control points they have where reactions are irreversible.
Glycolisis and gluconeogenesis share 7 common reactions, that are reversible. Thses reactions are coordinated and regulated by F-2 and 6-BP as the answer to the hormonal action.
Glycolisis happens in the muscle, while Gluconeogenesis happens in the liver. Together they form the "Cori Cycle".
The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell.
