3. The binding of glucagon to its receptor rapidly activates the conversion of metabolite A to metabolite E through the pathway shown below. Given this information answer the following questions. a. Which of the following enzymes would you expect to have flux control coefficients (C) greater than 0.? Why? b. List the ways in which these enzymes might be regulated? Why is it important for the cell to take this action (regulation)? The best answer will compare the concept of a biological steady state to equilibrium. c. Let's say that the cell, upon insulin signaling, has sufficient supply of \( \mathrm{E} \) due to other factors in the cell. Predict what the cell may due in this instance and state a mechanism by which it could do this.
