Part c beta-Hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) is an interesting molecule that is constantlyblood stream. BHBA becomes elevated when your metabolism is driven intocirculating inketosis, a state that occurs when carbohydrates and glycogen are no longer available for metabolismand your body turns to using fats instead. Some athletes believe that forcing themselves into ketosisbefore a competition increases performance and products such as the drink HVMN Ketone Esterhave been developed for this purpose. The structure of BHBA is shown below:yourOHHO,a. Draw the structures of the conjugate acid and conjugate base forms of BHBA.b. Calculate the pH of a solution that contains 0.0353 mole of BHBA in 500 mL of water giventhat the pKa of BHBA is 4.70. Which is the principal chemical form of BHBA in aqueoussolution, the conjugate acid or the conjugate base?When BHBA is consumed in the drink HVMN Ketone Ester it eventually passes into thebloodstream. Blood is buffered at a pH of 7.4. Calculate the ratio of conjugate base toconjugate acid for BHBA in the blood stream. Which is the principal chemical form in thebloodstream, the conjugate acid or the conjugate base?C.

An 90 kg subject consumed a snack that contained 80 g of carbohydrate. Before eating the snack the subject’s blood glucose was 6.0 mmol.L-1. Calculate the concentration of glucose (mM) that would be reached in the blood after consuming the snack.Assume that all the carbohydrate in the snack was converted to glucose, rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the extracellular water (ECW) within 30 minutes. Assume ECW is approximately 20% of body weight and the glucose is not metabolised further.
3 Two equilibrium reactions are given: In the first, acetaldehyde forms with methanol hemiacetal. In the second, D‐glucose forms the hemiacetal form. Formulate them both equilibria. While in the first case the thermodyn. balance on the acetaldehyde side, the hemiacetal form clearly dominates in the second case. Give reasons for these differences and explain.
A protein has a stability ranging from 6 to 15 kcal/mole at 37 OC. Stability is a measureof the equilibrium between the folded and unfolded protein given by the relationship; folded(F) = unfolded (U), k=[U]/[F] For a protein with a stability of 10 kcal/mole, calculate the fraction of unfolded proteinthat would exist at equilibrium at 37 OC. Use the following equation:GO=RTlnk=-2.3RTlog k,where R=1.98 x 10-3 kcal/mole and T is temperature in Kelvin (K) and k is theequilibrium constant.

Olestra® is a fat-based fat substitute that became available in snack foods such as potato chips in 1998. Previous fat substitutes were carbohydrate-based or protein-based mixtures that did not give as good a sensation in the mouth, and are notsuitable for frying. With Olestra®, the glycerol molecule of a fat is replaced by sucrose (p. 1201). In Olestra®, the sucrosemolecule has six, seven, or (most commonly) eight fatty acids esterified to its hydroxy groups. The fatty acids come fromhydrolysis of vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, palm, coconut, and cottonseed oils. This unnaturally bulky, fat-likemolecule does not pass through the intestinal walls, and digestive enzymes cannot get close to the sucrose center to bind itto their active sites. Olestra® passes through the digestive system unchanged, and it provides zero calories. Draw a typicalOlestra® molecule, using any fatty acids that are commonly found in vegetable oils.

Determine the branch points and reducing ends of amylopectin. A 0.5g sample of amylopectin was analyzed to determine the fraction of the total glucose residues that are branch points in the structure. The sample was methylated and then digested, yielding 50 μmol of 2,3-methylglucose and 0.4 μmol of 1,2,3,6-tetramethyl glucose. (MWglucose = 162 g/mol, minus H2O) What fraction of the total residues are branch points? How many reducing ends does the amylopectin have?
Because of its bat configuration, Batman's body produces excess nitrogen and excretes it as a form of urea, NH2CONH2. The reaction that produces it is the combination of arginine (C6H14N4O2) with the body's water to give urea and ornithine (C5H12N2O2), according to the following reaction: C6H14N4OR2 + H2O → NH2CONH2 + C5H12N2OR2 arginine urea ornithine a. Assuming Batman is a perfect (ideal) machine, his body completely removes the produced urea which is 95 mg of urea; calculate the mass of arginine that must have been used by his body. b. Calculate the mass of ornithine that his body produced. c. If the rest of normal humans are not a perfect machine, it has been established that for this case, the normal human produces 0.0003686 lb of ornithine. What is the reaction efficiency of the normal human body compared to Batman's.
One step in glycolysis is the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The direct reaction of fructose-6-phosphate with inorganic phosphate fructose-6-phosphate + Pi ⇌ fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H₂O is very unfavorable, with ∆G'°= 16.3 kJ/mol and K'eq = 1.39×10⁻³. However, in glycolysis the reaction is coupled to ATP hydrolysis: fructose-6-phosphate + ATP ⇌ fructose-1,6-phosphate + ADP and the reaction if favorable. What is the equilibrium [fructose-1,6-bisphosphate]/[fructose-6-phosphate] ratio in the coupled reaction when [ATP] = [ADP]? For ATP hydrolysis ∆G'°= -30.5 kJ/mol at 25°C.
