Biomolecules & Nutrient Absorption [9A.R, 9C.S, 10C.S]:Question 2 Maltase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide maltose. This process occurs during human digestion when maltase is secreted by the intestine and then converts maltose into gluCose. Which two classes of biomolecules are directly involved in this process?

Introduction to Experiment 1: Starch Digestion by Amylase In this experiment, we will look for evidence of starch digestion by testing solutions for the presence of starch and sugars. When starch is present, the iodine in Lugol’s solution turns the solution black, blue, or dark brown. If starch is not present, iodine will dye the solution a yellow color. Benedict’s reagent reacts with “reducing sugars,” including glucose, resulting in a green, orange, or red color. If sugars are not present, Benedict’s reagent remains a light blue color. What is/are the end product(s) of starch digestion? _____________________________________________________________ What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch (amylose)? ________________________________________________ Hypotheses/Predictions (See Methods section for details): When mixed with Lugol’s solution, test tube A1 (amylase only) will have what color and why? _____________…

Fatty acids are stored in adipose tissue, as triacylglycerol (TAG) forms. TAGs are degraded as glycerol and fatty acids where energy is required. Based on that knowledge explain: How these products are used in the adipose, liver, and other tissue? Why glycerol can not be metabolized in adipose tissue?
Clearly explain the location, the metabolic role and the way in which its function is regulated (if applicable) the following molecules: lipoprotein lipase (LPL), Lecithin cholesterol Acyl transferase (LCAT), hepatic lipase/ liver lipase(LH), microsomal trigliceride transfer protein (MTP), cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP).
The pentose phosphate pathway is quite active in adipose tissue. Why? Explain how this pathway complements lipogenesis with the use of an example (such as a person eating chocolate).
Before a fatty acid can undergo β-oxidation, it must be activated and then shuttled across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The activating agent and shuttle molecule are, respectively: A. CoA and carnitine B. CoA and citrate C. acetyl CoA and carnitine D. acetyl CoA and citrate
