Question

Under conditions of elevated temperature, the cell needs to produce large amounts of C. C is produced in the cell by the reaction A + B rightarrow C + D whose Delta G = +3.0. What are potential mechanisms the cell can use to increase the intracellular concentration of C when it is needed? A) Increase the uptake of A from the environment when C is needed. B) Induce an enzyme that uses B as a substrate in a reaction whose Delta G = -7.4 C) Secrete D from the cell D) Increase the uptake of D from the environment when C is needed.

Explanation / Answer

Answer Is a and c

When substrate increases then the product also increases...

Nand when D is secreted out...As product decreases there is a feedback to increase the rate of reaction..so ultimately either by increasing A or by secreting D out of the cell .The intacellular concentration of C increases
