(a)
To determine: The effect of insulin on glycolysis.
Introduction: Glycolysis is the basic pathway that is used for
(b)
To determine: The effect of insulin on gluconeogenesis.
Introduction: Production of sugar molecules in the body is called gluconeogenesis. This sugar is used for energy production and different catabolic reactions. Liver is the main site where the process of gluconeogenesis takes place.
(c)
To determine: The effect of insulin on glycogenesis.
Introduction: Glycogen is a metabolic pathway that is involved in converting glucose in to glycogen for storage purpose. Glycogen produced by this process is stored in the cells of liver and muscles. Process of glycogenesis is activated when blood sugar level goes high.
(d)
To determine: The effect of insulin on lipogenesis.
Introduction: Lipogenesis is the process of formation of lipids using the extra sugar that is present in the blood. This fat produced by the process of lipogenesis is stored in the body for further use. Lipogenesis contributes only a small share to the total body fat content.
(e)
To determine: The effect of insulin on protein synthesis.
Introduction: Protein synthesis is the process of formation of functional proteins. Presence of all the required materials in adequate amount is very important for synthesis of properly functioning protein molecules.

- How is a protein destined for the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), imported into the ER? Be concise.arrow_forwardFind out about the organisations and the movements aimed at the conservation of our natural resources. Eg Chipko movement and Greenpeace. Make a project report on such an organisation.arrow_forwardWhat are biofertilizers and mention the significancearrow_forward
- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans? Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardOther than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?arrow_forwardSelection of Traits What adaptations do scavengers have for locating and feeding on prey? What adaptations do predators have for capturing and consuming prey?arrow_forward
- Competition Between Species What natural processes limit populations from growing too large? What are some resources organisms can compete over in their natural habitat?arrow_forwardSpecies Interactions Explain how predators, prey and scavengers interact. Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
