In the Cori cycle, when glucose is degraded by glycolysis to lactate in muscle, the lactate is excreted into the blood and retur
Fantom [35]

Answer: Cori cycle  consumes more energy,it expended 4ATPs, therefore with poor efficiency.

1 Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

it is an enzyme which  functions in Glycolysis only, to breakdown the 6th. step of of subtrate phosphorylation of glucose.

2. glucose-6-phosphotase.

This is the enzyme that works in gluconeogenesis only to intiaate its  first step. it hydrolyse glucose-6-phosphate , to generate glucose and phosphate.

Alcohol dehydrogenase

This enzyme does not play any role with both pathways.Rather it catalysis the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehyde and ketones. The reaction involves reduction with NADH+

phosphoenopyruvate carboxykinase

functions in the gluconeogensis pathways  for conversion of oxaloacatate to phosphoenopyruvate and CO2.

Phosphofructokinase-1

function as regulatory enzyme of glycolysis to convert  fructose-6-phosphate  and ATP hydrolysis to glucose 1, 6, bisphosphate and ADP respectively.

Phosphoglycerate mutase.

An enzyme involved in glycolytic pathway, it catalysed the 8th step of glycolysis.

Hexokinase- an enzyme of glycolytic pathway invloved in phosphorylation of glucose, to intiate the process of glycolysis.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase

This is an enzyme that converts pyruvate to acetyl Co-A.

therefore it plays no role in the two pathways, because glycolytic pathway ends with pyruvate production.

Mafic lava tends to have low silica content. Based on this, which of the following statements about mafic lava is most likely tr
sashaice [31]

Answer:

A. It contains fewer volatile gases.

Explanation:

Mafic lava have a composition of about 45-55% silica with high amount of Fe, Mg, Ca.

The silica content is quite low compared to those of granitic magma whose silica content can reach up to about 60%.

What determines the viscosity of magma is basically the silica content of the magma and the temperature of the magma. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.

The higher the silica content, the lower the viscosity and the higher the amount of volatile gases. Such type of magma is the granitic magma. Granitic magma due to their viscosity flows slowly.

The lower the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lesser the presence of volatile gases in them. Such an example is Mafic magma. Mafic magma flows very slowly with low amount of dissolved gases.

aliina [53]

The Yellowstone River ecosystem can support 2,300 bald eagles. This is an example of<u> temperate- zone ecosystems</u>

Explanation:

Yellowstone National Park is a natural  paradise with over 70 species of birds,which  include  trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, loons, peregrine falcons, osprey and bald eagles

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, with Yellowstone at its core, is one of the largest nearly intact temperate- zone ecosystems on Earth. It has an area of 12–22 million acres; 18,750– 34,375 square miles

<u>Temperate ecosystems are the ecosystem that are characterized by the  seasonality in temperature, with cooler winters and warmer summers, and also  show various  seasonality in precipitation patterns, resulting from seasonal changes in the orientation of Earth's axis relative to the sun.</u>

<u></u>

The Yellowstone River ecosystem can support 2,300 bald eagles. This is an example of<u> temperate- zone ecosystems</u>

9. Look closely at the illustration above. a. What process is occurring? b. What is being made? c. How can you tell?
mars1129 [50]
The answers are:

A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture) 
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C.
