Question
Chapter 26, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG CoA) takes part in the production of cholesterol. Another pathway that involves the HMG CoA should be determined. Also, the factor that influences the pathway should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol is a type of steroid. Cholesterol production starts with the help of Acetyl CoA (substrate as fatty acid synthesis). The steps for the biosynthesis of cholesterol are the formation of isoprene units, squalene formation and the cyclization of squalene.

Working at cross-purposes? Gluconeogenesis takes place during intense exercise, which seems counterintuitive. Why would an organism synthesize glucose and at the same time use glucose to generate energy?
Etiology? What does that mean? What does the fact that rotenone appears to increase the susceptibility to Parkinson disease indicate about the etiology of Parkinson disease?
Pls help ASAP, thank you!
