PFK is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction early in glycolysis. When it catalyzes the reaction, it causes glycolysis to proceed. If the reaction is not catalyzed, the sugar is instead directed to pathways that convert the sugar to forms of energy that can be stored. PFK’s activity is regulated by cAMP. cAMP is present in cells when ATP levels are low. cAMP can bind to PFK and allosterically regulate its activity. In order for a cell to maintain appropriate levels of ATP production, cAMP binding to PFK should cause the activity of PFK to ______.

Below is a diagram of a DNA molecule that is early in the process of replication. The bottom strand is the original; the top shows the start of the new DNA strand. On the newly synthesized strand, the # represents the [a] end of the new DNA. The next nucleotide added to the DNA being synthesized would be [b]. The enzyme that adds a DNA nucleotide to an elongating strand of DNA is [c].
