Answer:

c) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin its a hormone formed by the pineal gland, which regulates an individual wake cycles and sleep. Jetlag alters the hormone function leading to an alteration with the body clock of the persom.

Jetlag is a sleep disorder common to those who travel swiftly over several time zones. It is not a permanent sleep disorder. Its due to the body's internal clock lacking sync with cues generated in a different time zone, Cues may be due to light exposure and how often the person eats.

A basic factor on ones internal clock is sunlight. It controls the regulation of melatonin which aid in synchronizing cells in the body.

Specific cells of the tissue at retina moves the light signals the thypothalamus.

At night, the hypothalamus signal to the pineal gland to produce melatonin. At daylight hours, the reverse is the case.

Phosphofructokinase is and enzyme that phosphorylates fructose 6 phosphate in glycolysis. It is an important control enzyme in the regulation of cellular respiration. It is inhibited by ATP and is an allosteric enzyme.
