Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type
Answer:
I believe there are 6
Explanation:
Protons are the positively charged circles (blue)
Neutrons are the Neutral (red)
and the others (green) are called electrons
<span>When an athlete is nearing the end of a race and her cells are low on oxygen, it is likely to be fermentation. When cells have used up all their oxygen they ferment glucose into lactic acid. Fermentation is a metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen</span>
Answer: Option C."hypernatremia"
Explanation:
Hypernatremia is defined as the a electrolyte problem in which sodium concentration rises to a value more than 145 mmol/L in serum.
The major symptoms of hypernatremia involves thirst, muscle twitching or spasms, and confusion.
Hypernatremia is a hyperosmolar condition caused by a decrease in total body water (TBW) against electrolyte content and several causes of hypernatremia includes intake of hypertonic fluid, salt poisoning in children, and inadequate intake of free water associated with total body sodium depletion et cetera.
Hence, the correct option is C.
