b. decreases PFK activity, increases FBPase activity
c. decreases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity
d. increases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity

d. increases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is formed by the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by phosphofructokinase-2, PFK-2.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate functions as an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate has opposite effects on the enzymes, PFK-1 and FBPase. When it binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme, PFK-1, it increases the enzymes's activity by increasing its affinity for its substrate fructose-6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for its allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate. However, when it binds to FBPase, it reduces its activity by reducing its affinity for glucose, its substrate

answer: semi-infinite solid initially at a uniform temperature of 400 ◦c is cooled at its surface by convection. the cooling fluid at a constant temperature of 200 ◦c has a convective coefficient (ha) of 250 w/m2.k. the physical properties of the solid: k = 20 w/m.k and α = 4 * 10-5  m2/s. using δx = 0.04 m and δt = 10 s. write the finite difference equations describing the transient heat transfer of the first five δx and the temperature profile after 30 s.
