Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The metabolite in the given case should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A metabolite is that the intermediate consequence of metabolism. The term substance is typically restricted to tiny molecules.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Defending predictions about Malonyl-CoA as a key indicator of nutrient availability.

Concept Introduction:

Malonyl-CoA could be a extremely regulated molecule in carboxylic acid synthesis; intrinsically, it inhibits the rate-limiting step in beta-oxidation of fatty acids. Malonyl CoA inhibits fatty acids from associating with carnitine by regulation the protein carnitine acyl transferase, thereby preventing them from coming into the mitochondria, wherever carboxylic acid chemical reaction and degradation occur.
