What protein assists DNA in supercoiling?

This is the process whereby a protein assists in simple diffusion?
Active transport
What wastes do the body cells produce when they burn?
Carbon dioxide and water are the final results of cellular metabolization.
What is the purpose of fermentation?
It regenerates NAD+ from NADH to keep glycolysis going in the absence of oxygen.

No it is not. The liver is a specialized organ involved in protein production, hormone production, detoxification, metabolization of compounds, glycogen storage and digestion. Smooth muscle, on the other hand, makes up a significant portion of the gastrointestinal track. It is interesting to note that a marker for autoimmune hepatitis (a disease of the liver) is called anti-smooth muscle antibody.
What happens during the process of faciltated diffusion?
An Integral Membrane Protein Assists A Specific Substances Across The Membrane.
What is The conversion of non-carbohydrate compounds to glucose is called?
Metabolization (digestion breaks it down into its various constituent parts which are then picked up by the blood stream, carried to the various organs and used to maintain their functions).
