Without looking at Fig., draw a diagram of the major metabolic pathways involving proteins, glycogen, and triacylglycerols.
Hexokinase is an important enzyme in the metabolism of glucose. If theconcentration of hexokinase in our eukaryotic cell is 20 μM, how many glucose molecules are present per hexokinase molecule?
The M and H subunits of lactate dehydrogenase have very similar sizes and shapes but differ in amino acidcomposition. If the only difference between the two were that theH subunit had a glutamic acid in a position where the M subunithad a serine, how would the five isozymes of LDH separate on electrophoresis using a gel at pH 8.6?
Suppose that a G protein undergoes a mutation that allows the exchange of GTP for GDP tooccur even in the absence of GPCR binding to glucagon. How might this mutation affectlipolysis and fatty acid biosynthesis? Briefly explain your reasonings.
When a vertebrate dies, its muscles stiffen as they are deprived of ATP, a state called rigor mortis. Using your knowledge of the catalytic cycle ofmyosin in muscle contraction, explain the molecular basis of the rigor state.
Mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids is a major source of ATP, yet fatty acids can be oxidized elsewhere. What organelle, besides the mitochondrion, can oxidize fatty acids? What is the fundamental difference between oxidation oc- curring in this organelle and mitochondrial oxidation?
How are the mitochondrion and the hydrogenosomesimilar structurally? How do they differ? How do theydiffer metabolically?
Suppose a human cell is about to undergo cell division and needs to replicate its nucleic acid. Based on this statement a. Does the cell require more ribose 5-phosphate or more NADPH? Give reason. b. Will the cell use oxidative or non-oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway. Give reason. c. Explain in detail the mechanism of the pathway through which the cell fulfills its need.
How many ATP will be produced in an oxidative level phosphorylation of a molecule of glucose in a eukaryotic cell?
Consider ten glucose molecules that enter a cell. How many ATP can be generated by the complete catabolism of these into CO2 and H2O? If all ten are first incorporated into glycogen, liberated from glycogen, and then fully catabolized into CO2 and H2O, does the ATP tally increase, decrease or stay the same? Consider that 1 UTP = 1 ATP. Explain. Describe the processes which produce ATP and provide a balanced equation of glucose, CO2, H2O and O2
Why does the Krebs cycle operate only under aerobic conditionseven though it does not use molecular oxygen in any of its reactions?
What is the smallest number of molecules of ATP and GTP consumed in the synthesis of a 200- residue protein, starting from amino acids? Assume that the hydrolysis of PP i is equivalent to the hydrolysis of ATP for this calculation.
