Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for alterations of given ratios by alcohol consumption should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol consumption leads to physiological dysfunctions, which are caused due to binding of alcohol on the specific sites of neuronal proteins. Such bindings occur in water-filled pockets in the brain, resulting in alterations of protein’s conformations and functions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The cause of hypoglycemia and acidosis should be determined in hungry individual.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol consumption leads to physiological dysfunctions, which are caused due to binding of alcohol on the specific sites of neuronal proteins. Such bindings occur in water-filled pockets in the brain, resulting in alterations of protein’s conformations and functions.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason for no hypoglycemia in fell fed person should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol consumption leads to physiological dysfunctions, which are caused due to binding of alcohol on the specific sites of neuronal proteins. Such bindings occur in water-filled pockets in the brain, resulting in alterations of protein’s conformations and functions.

- Glucagon secretion inhibits intracellular acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity through a number of different methods. Make a list of everything that comes to mind.arrow_forward10. The enzyme that involved in the catalysis from alpha-ketoglutarate to glutamate is A. Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase B. Glutamate dehydrogenase C. Glutamate synthase D. Glutamate synthetase give explanation for both correct and incorrect options asaparrow_forwardFill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.arrow_forward
- 9 Insulin can be best described by which statements? Select the correct response(s): It is made up of 2 peptide chains with a total of 3 alpha helices, 2 beta sheets, and 3 disulfide bridges. It is synthesized by the beta cells of the pancreas and released into the bloodstream to stimulate assimilation of glucose by the cells. It is made up of 2 peptide chains with a total of 3 alpha helices, 2 beta sheets, and 2 disulfide bridges. It is synthesized by the beta cells of the pancreas and released into the bloodstream to stimulate secretion of glucose by the cells. It is synthesized by the beta cells of the pancreas and released into the bloodstream to stimulate synthesis of glucose by the cells. It is synthesized by the beta cells of the pancreas and released into the bloodstream to stimulate oxidation of glucose by the cells. | It is made up of 2 peptide chains with a total of 2 alpha helices, 2 beta sheets, and 2 disulfide bonds. • It is made up of 2 peptide chains with a total of 2…arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Syndrome (HHNS)?arrow_forwardNeed help, please. Given that the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase converts Pyruvate into Oxaloacetate and this is an anapleurotic reaction. In the liver, what is most of the OAA converted into under these conditions? Please explain. 1. When blood glucose levels are low and the energy charge in the cell is high. 2. When mitochondrial acetyl-CoA levels are high and the energy charge is low.arrow_forward
- -CHOOSE THE CORRECT LETTER- 1.What major metabolic substrate do ketone bodies convert into so that they enter the metabolic pathway?A. pyruvateB. acetyl-CoAC. c02D. oxaloacetatearrow_forwardFor the mutation of the enzyme, describe the effect it will have on carbohydrate metabolism. Also, make sure to think about the effect it has on muscles versus the liver: Mutation that converted the active site cysteine in glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase to a serinearrow_forwardBy looking into the triacylglycerides synthesis pathway, suggest a possible treatment for fat loss/weight reduction. Discuss any possible complications that might occur from using your treatment.arrow_forward
- Choose the correct answer: 1- Regarding to glycogen metabolism, which of the following statements about is correct : A) A key step in the synthesis of glycogen is the formation of UDP-glucose.B) Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and brain.C) Glucagon increases the synthesis of glycogen.D) In muscle in the fasting state, glycogen is broken down to glucose 6-phosphate, thenfree glucose.E) Insulin inhibits the synthesis of glycogen. 2- Glycogenesis is initiated by: A) UDP-glucose.B) glycogenin.C) glucose-6-phosphate.D) glucose.arrow_forward-CHOOSE THE CORRECT LETTER- 1.Which of the following molecules were derived from acetyl CoA?A. amino acids, cholesterol, beta-hydroxybutyrateB.fatty acids, cholesterol, beta-hydroxybutyrateC. fatty acids, alpha-ketoglutarate, acetoacetateD. fatty acids, cholesterol, pyruvate 2.All the following statements about the free energy of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are true, EXCEPTA. The conversion of glucose to 2 lactate yields a net of 2 ATPB. The conversion of glucose to 2 pyruvate yields 2 NADH and a net of 2 ATPC. The conversion of 2 pyruvates to glucose requires 4ATP, 2 GTP and 2 NADHD. Gluconeogenesis requires 6 more ATP per glucose that what were derive from glucose to glycolysisarrow_forwardFor the mutation of the enzyme, describe the effect it will have on carbohydrate metabolism. Also, make sure to think about the effect it has on muscles versus the liver: Mutation that converted the active site glutamate in phosphohexose isomerase to an glutamine.arrow_forward
