Answer:

The correct answer is a Inhibit the enzyme and slow the rates of Glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

ATP accumulation result in blocking the activity of the rate limiting enzyme  of glycolysis  Phosphofructokinase that catalyses the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose -1,6-bisphosphate .

            ATP is an Allosteric inhibitor of Phosphofructokinase enzyme and this enzymatic inhibition decreases the rate of glycolysis and as the rate of glycolysis decreases the rate of TCA cycle is also decreased because TCA cycle  depends on glycolytic end product Pyruvate. As glycolysis rate is decreased pyruvate is not formed in a sufficient amount to carry out its conversion to Acetyl CoA  and enters into TCA Cycle.

joja [24]

Answer:

When the volcano erupted, the dark red walking beans were easier to see. Thus, more dark red beans were eaten during days four, five, and six. If the pollution continued, there would be fewer and fewer dark red walking beans over time.

What happens when a photon of light hits photosystem II?
Alexandra [31]
The answer is most likely to be D, because when the photon hits an electron within a molecule of chlorophyl, the energy from the light excites an electron from its normal energy level to an excited energy level!
