An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of which of the following enzymes (+ indicates activity is increased; - indicates activity is not increased by insulin)?

An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of --

- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(+)

-Phosphofructokinase PFK2(+)

-Glycogen synthase(+)

- Hormone sensitive lipase (-). The hormone sensitive lipase activity is not increased with increased insulin activity.

Explanation: increased insulin - glucagon ratio is usually high in fed state.Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.

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.
