- The actions of cardiac glycoside drugs are not confined exclusively to heart tissue. How would ingestion of a cardiac glycoside affect uptake of glucose in the intestine? Refer to actions of the cardiac glycoside on the system in the image above in your answer. 5. Calculate the free energy change associated with moving glucose into the cell. The experimental conditions are as follows: 37 °C, 5 mM extracellular glucose, 0.4 mM intracellular glucose. Show all work.arrow_forwardIf sucrase breaks down sucrose and a mystery sugar inhibits sucrase from breaking down sucrose allowing sucrose to mobilize in the body, what kind of inhibition is the mystery sugar? i.e. uncompetitive, competitive, non-competitivearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes the absorption of glucose? Absorption of glucose requires digestion by aminopeptidases on absorptive epithelial microvilli before absorption of the carbohydrate smaller units such as glucose. Absorption of glucose requires an electrochemical gradient of high extracellular K+ set up by primary active transport. Absorption of glucose occurs at villi and crypts mainly in the duodenum where amylases break down carbohydrates into glucose. Absorption of glucose occurs at the transporting epithelia in the small intestine and is a secondary active transport that requires a Na+gradientarrow_forward
- Starting with the intestinal lumen, working its way through a cell and out to internal tissues, sequentially list and describe transporters or channels that gut epithelial cells use to transport glucosearrow_forwardCarnitine shuttle is used to Transport FA chains from the adipose tissue to the liver. Transport FA chains from the blood-stream to the cytosol. Transport FA chains from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. Transport FA chains from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol.arrow_forwardSome enzymes can catalyze a reaction involving NADH but cannot catalyze a reaction that uses NADPH. Why may this be? When the substrate concentration is below the Km for an enzyme, what “order” will best explain thereaction? Explain.The cells that line the intestine have a transporter called GLUT5. While it can transport both fructose and glucose but has a much lower Km for fructose. Describe a physiological situation where the GLUT5 transporter is transporting fructose and glucose at the same rate. [consider using a graph to support your answer]arrow_forward
- Transport of glucose across the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells and into the vascular system requires which of the following conditions to occur? Select one: a. Sodium concentration on the inside of the epithelial cell is equal to that outside the basolateral membrane b. Sodium concentration is higher on the inside of the epithelial cell than on the outside of the basolateral membrane c. Sodium concentration inside the epithelial cell is lower than sodium concentration in the intestinal lumen d. Sodium concentration inside the epithelial cell is higher than that sodium concentration in the intestinal lumenarrow_forwardHow does the Na+/ K+ ATPase play a role in glucose transport? phosphorylates GLUT1 to activate it pumps Na+ across plasma membranes into cytoplasm to activate the sodium-glucose transporter pumps Na+ across basal plasma membrane to the outside of intestinal cells so that co-transport of glucose with Na+ into cytoplasm is facilitated allows for the diffusion of K+ inside of cell so that co-transport with glucose is facilitatedarrow_forwardHow many net ATPs would be produced if the following fatty acid is completely oxidized intocarbon dioxides and water? 94.5 96.5 98 98.5 108arrow_forward
- In addition to glucose, brain cells also need the amino acid phenylalanine to move from the blood and across the blood brain barrier. Brains cells use phenylalanine to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. Phenylalanine is transported from the blood and into the endothelial cells of the blood brain barrier through the transport protein LAT1, which uses energy to facilitate the movement. In a healthy brain, where is there a higher concentration of phenylalanine? a) In the blood b) In the endothelial cells of the blood brain barrierarrow_forwardKt of glucose for GLUT1=3 mM, GLUT2=17 mM, GLUT 3=1.3 mM, and GLUT11=0.3 mM. Sketch a graph with [glucose] on the x-axis and rate of transport on the y-axis. Sketch a line for each GLUT transporter above. Which of these GLUT transporters will be working at its maximum rate at [glucose]=5 mM? Which of these GLUT transporters will be working closest to ½ Vmaxwhen [glucose]=5 mM? What will be the approximate rate of glucose transport for each of these transporters if [glucose]=17 mM?arrow_forwardA glucose-fed yeast cell is moved from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic one. For the cell to continue to generate ATP at the same rate, approximately how much glucose must it consume in the anaerobic environment compared with the aerobic environment?arrow_forward
