(a)

Interpretation:

The difference between the phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity in P. Furiosus and other animals should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme which converts fructose-1-phopshate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. It acts as a regulatory enzyme in the glycolysis process. High ATP concentration inside the cell inhibits the activity of PFK.

Interpretation Introduction
