The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>

gHow would an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase affect glucose mobilization in muscle? It would reduce cAMP levels and inhibit
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>cAMP and glucose mobilization</h2>

Explanation:

It would maintain high cAMP level and elevate glucose mobilization

  • Phosphodiesterase is an effector enzyme which degrades secondary messenger cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate)
  • Here in this case an inhibitor is inhibiting the phosphodiesterase therefore cAMP level will increase
  • As cAMP level rise it activates a protein called protein kinase A which phosphorylates phosphorylase kinase and activates it
  • Phosphorylase kinase becomes active that phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and makes it active,glycogen phosphorylase catalyse breakdown of glycogen(in liver and muscle cells)
  • In liver cells breakdown of glycogen occurs and glucose 1 phosphate gets converted into glucose and supplied to whole body through blood
