The malate aspartate shuttle plays many roles in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Malate can be transferred into the cytosol and interconverted in one enzymatic step to produce [oxaloacetate/glucose/PEP/pyruvate] for use in the pathway of [glycolysis/gluconeogenesis]. A product of the urea cycle, derived from aspartate, can also be converted to malate in one enzymatic step and shuttled into the mitochondria so that the urea cycle product can be used in [fatty acid synthesis/the citric acid cycle/β-oxidation]. The amino group from aspartate can be transferred to [oxalacetate/malate/fumarate/pyruvate/a- ketoglutarate] to form glutamate, which is then transported into the mitochondria. In fact many amino acids are transaminated in this way to form glutamate in the cytosol. In this way, incoming amino acids from the bloodstream can be shuttled into the liver mitochondria as glutamate for conversion by glutamate dehydrogenase to [glutamate/a-ketoglutarate /pyruvate/oxaloacetate] and [fumarate/carbon dioxide/ammonia] so the production of carbamoyl phosphate can proceed.

Fill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.
Pls help ASAP, thank you! "Match the gluconeogenic precursor to the type of reaction(s) that bring it to gluconeogenesis as pyruvate" (answer choices for all drop down menus are: "alanine", "lactate", "glycerol", and "glutamine")
help with filling in the blanks The amino acid [alanine/aspartate/glutamate] can be transaminated to a- ketoglutarate, the amino acid [alanine/aspartate/glutamate] can be transaminated to pyruvate, and the amino acid [alanine/aspartate/glutamate] can be transaminated to oxaloacetate. As a result, all three amino acids are considered [glucogenic/ketogenic/metagenic]. The carbon of urea comes directly from [carbon dioxide/a-carbon of an amino acid/glucose]. The nitrogen atoms in urea come from [ammonia/DNA/pyruvate] and [aspartate/glutamate/alanine] directly.

Explain, does anaerobic glycolysis lead to waste of energy in muscle? b-Glycogen phosphorylase enzyme catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. Describe, glycogen metabolism regulation through glycogen phosphorylase.
True or false 1. During fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl CoA is the donor of the acetyl group. 2. Pyruvate serves as the precursor of the glycerol backbone during TAG biosynthesis. 3. Malonyl CoA is an inhibitor of acetyl CoA carboxylase. 4. HMG-CoA serves as the common intermediate of cholesterol biosynthesis and ketogenesis.

Of the steps illustrated how many are unidirectional? Identify the substrate and product of each of these steps. Identify the three enzymes that are likely to be regulated in glycolysis? How did you make this determination. Glycogen synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glucose 6 phosphate activates glycogen synthase by allosteric regulation. Illustrate and describe how this allosteric modulation is likely to occur? Glycogen phosphorylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of glycogen to form glucose, is active when a phosphate group is added. This is an example of enzyme regulation by ____________________________.
