A 42 yr old woman is not in shape but still decides to run a marathon. During the event, shecollapses and is brought to the ER. Arterial blood gas analysis shows PO2 of 100 mmHg (normal),PCO2 of 42 mmHg (normal), and pH of 7.30 (low). Further evaluation reveals high anion-gapmetabolic acidosis. Increased activity of which of the following biochemical pathways is the basis ofthe clinical findings?a. ETCb. Citric acid cyclec. Anaerobic glycolysisd. Beta-oxidation of fatty acidse. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation

Carbonic anhydrase is strongly inhibited by the drug acetazolamide, which is used as a diuretic (i.e., to increase the production of urine) and to lower excessively high pressure in the eye (due to accumulation of intraocular fluid) in glaucoma. Carbonic anhydrase plays an important role in these and other secretory processes because it participates in regulatingthe pH and bicarbonate content of several body fluids. The experimental curve of initial reaction velocity (as percentage of Vmax ) versus [S] for the carbonic anhydrase reaction is illustrated below (upper curve). When the experiment is repeated in the presence of acetazolamide, the lower curve is obtained. From an inspection of the curves and your knowledge of the kinetic properties of competitive and mixed enzyme inhibitors, determinethe nature of the inhibition by acetazolamide. Explain your reasoning.
Prolonged strenuous exercise usually leads to anincrease in lactic acid. Given your knowledge ofnormal circulation, explain why it is helpful tohave a cool-down period with mild exercise ratherthan total rest immediately after strenuousexercise
Propionic acidemia has a relatively high prevalence in South Africa, among both black and white families. This fatal disease is often diagnosed by the elevated presence of propionyl carnitine, propionylglycine and methyl citrate in blood and urine.

Consumption of nitrate-rich vegetables such as spinach have been shown to reduce blood pressure in prehypertensive individuals (i.e., those having no history of clinical hypertension), a phenomenon attributed to increased nitric oxide synthesis. Describe the reactions that convert nitrate (NO3 −) to nitric oxide (NO•) in the body.
A patient complains about low body temperature, weight gain, lethargy, drowsiness. T3 and T4 concentration are decreased in blood plasma. What disease is Characterized by these symptoms? What changes in biochemical processes can cause the development of the mentioned symptoms? Explain.
The concentration ofacetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) in a sample can be determined from the pH changes thataccompany its hydrolysis. When the sample is incubated with the enzymeacetylcholinesterase, acetylcholine is converted to choline and acetic acid, whichdissociates to yield acetate and a hydrogen ion: In a typical analysis, 15 mL of an aqueous solution containing an unknown amount ofacetylcholine had a pH of 7.65. When incubated with acetylcholinesterase, the pH of thesolution decreased to 6.87. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determinethe number of moles of acetylcholine in the 15 mL sample.
