Stimulates the glucose uptake d. Stimulates fatty acid production and storage Insulin is responsible for several controls such as stimulating glucose uptake, inhibiting the glycogen breakdown and stimulating fat storage molecule synthesis.

PCR is a powerful tool that can do all of the following EXCEPT ________. - -b. copy large segments of DNA, greater than 6kb Which of the following is NOT a required "ingredient" in a PCR reaction? - -b. RNA primers CorrectCorrect! RNA primers are used in DNA replication inside the cell, but the quick degradation of RNA makes it less useful for PCR reactions. Instead, PCR reactions contain primers made of DNA to anneal to the region of DNA that will be amplified and serve as a starting poi...

Glucose is a monosaccharide. It can be used as the raw material to build which one of the following molecules? - -d. Glycogen The correct answer is Glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up glucose units. Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to pyruvate. Is this a catabolic process or an anabolic process? - -a. Catabolic Catabolic pathways refer to the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones and often produce ATP as a result. Glycolysis is a catabolic process. During glycol...
