Problem 2. When alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities, the resulting levels of NADH cause metabolic abnormalities, and one of which is high levels of fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acid synthesis, also a cytoplasmic process, uses acetyl-CoA as a substrate and NADPH as a reducing agent. Based on the above, we can see how acetate is çonverted to acçetyl-ÇoA in the

Problem 1: For your new year's resolution, you resolve to lose 5lbs of body fat through physical exercise. If you work out hard, you can generate 200 W of mechanical power and be 20% efficient at it. How long will you have to exercise at this rate to burn the desired amount of fat? If you chose to diet instead and cut your food intake of 2400 kcal/day to 1600 kcal/day, how long will it take you to lose the desired amount of weight?
Problem: Alcohol Dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde. This enzyme, in its active state, consists of a protein molecule and a zinc ion. On the basis of this information, identify the following for this chemical system. Substrate Apoenzyme Cofactor Holoenzyme
I am needing help with problems 1 and 3, please. Thank you. 1) Yeast uses anaerobic respiration. If yeast utilized aerobic respiration, would the balloons have inflated faster or slower? Why? 2) Glycolysis in an anaerobic environment produces a net of 2 ATP and Pyruvate. Why does Yeast bother to ferment Pyruvate to Ethanol? Also, what do you think would happen if yeast DID NOT ferment pyruvate to ethanol? 3) Glycolysis in an aerobic environment leads to the production of many more ATP biomolecules. Briefly describe the additional steps necessary to harvest more energy from glucose breakdown. Include the step where Oxygen is used, since it is the key factor that determines the amount of ATP produced.
