BIOC 384 Overview of Metabolism Q8.4: Use bioenergetics to explain why eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes cereal leads to a highly favorable change in free energy, which drives the production of glucose-6P in the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase under conditions where temperature and enzyme concentration do not change.
Introduction: (4 pts) (Answer questions in paragraph form - 300 words max) What are enzymes and what do they do? What are the optimal conditions for an enzyme? What factors affect enzyme activity and how? How is the structure of an enzyme related to its function? What is amylase? What reaction does it catalyze? Research the amylase enzyme you used (organism) and the optimal conditions of temperature, pH, or salt, it requires. Explain why DNS is used and why it is important for determining enzyme activity. Cite and reference your sources using APA style.
Q)Starting as a lipid in some holiday prime rib, trace the path that energy and biomass make as that lipid is consumed by a college freshman, transported to a cell in the liver and converted into a carbohydrate, and finally as that carbohydrate is burned for energy in a cell in the cells of the shoulder muscles. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what you diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand cellular respiration and the movement of mass and energy in animals.

Reflect on the metabolic theory of cancer and other chronic diseases (diabetes, CVD, obesity) a little deeper. Why is the ketogenic diet, and even other low-carb diets, helpful for so many different chronic diseases? Are these diets just fads or can their healthfulness be explained by our evolutionary history?
Describe the biochemical adaptations to food intake and starvation.
