Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The deficiency of pyruvate hydrogenase is characterized as neurological dysfunction. The reason for this statement should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Lactic acidosis is a medical condition, which is caused due to the buildup of lactate in the body. Excess of lactate in the blood also leads to low pH levels in the body. The signs and symptoms of lactic acidosis are discomfort, decreased appetite, diarrhea, and muscle pain.

Need help, please. For the scenario below relating to Glycogenolysis, please explain how glucose release would be affected. Would it increase, decrease, or result in no change when  compared to “normal” conditions? In addition, please identify which enzyme or reaction is affected and why.  Scenario: free inorganic phosphate is chelated
Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice.   a. Ribose-5-phosphate is produced by oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate catalyzed by the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. I. True II. False   b. The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the mitochondrion of tissues actively engaged in synthesis of fatty acids. I. True II. False
Draw Gluconeogenesis.  Please make sure to state all the enzymes and co-factors for each step of the pathway. note you are responsible for all the enzymes for each step, even though it is not stated on the slide.
