The presence of multiple hexokinase isozymes (i-iv) for the phosphorylation of glucose enables specific organs to regulate carbohydrate metabolism in a unique way. hexokinase iv (blue curve in the plot below), also called glucokinase, is the predominant isozyme in liver and has distinct kinetic properties from the other hexokinase isozymes (representative curve in red). note the difference in the shapes of the curves within the physiological range of glucose concentration (~4 to 6 mm).

For the strategies below, decide whether they are best described as demand-side solutions or supply-side solutions to meeting human needs for fresh water. remember that a demand-side solution reduces demand for fresh water, whereas a supply-side solution increases the supply of fresh water. (a) damming a river to create a reservoir (b) desalinating seawater (c) a nation invading a neighboring country to access their rivers (d) raising water prices for consumers and businesses (e) providing tax breaks for companies that use less water (f) replacing inefficient irrigation with more-efficient drip irrigation to grow crops (g) requiring low-flow showerheads in all new homes
