A fish swimming into an estuary from a river would have which of the following as its greatest physiological challenge?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms

The high water flow would make the fish expend more energy.
The low oxygen content would give the fish difficulty in swimming aerobically.
The temperature change would stress the fish by denaturing its proteins.
The change in water solute content would challenge the osmotic balance of the fish.

Choose the correct statement of the following

a. In general, high acetyl-CoA or citrate are present, or when a high proportion of the cell’s adenylate is in the form of ATP, gluconeogenesis is favored.

b. When the level of AMP increases, it promotes glycolysis by stimulating PFK-1 by inhibiting FBPase-1
