Biology Questions

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that leads to the synthesis of glucose from pyruvate and other non-carbohydrate precursors, even in non-photosynthetic organisms.

It occurs in all microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals, and the reactions are essentially the same, leading to the synthesis of one glucose molecule from two pyruvate molecules. Therefore, it is in essence glycolysis in reverse, which instead goes from glucose to pyruvate, and shares seven enzymes with it.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

• If you have type 1 diabetes your body does not release insulin.

• If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly.

Everyone of us have a blind spot which is a small portion within the visual field of every eye where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eyeball. Optic nerve is connected to brain ehich carries images of what we see.

All enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes since, enzymes are subset of proteins.

Oxygen is transported throughout the body via hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hence, most of the oxygen transported by the blood is bounded to hemoglobin.

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.
