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.

- What is the metabolic significance of the following observations? (1) Only the liver form of pyruvate kinase is inhibited by alanine, and (2) only gluco- neogenic tissues contain appreciable levels of glucose-6-phosphatase.arrow_forward. Glucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA car- boxylase activity by several mechanisms. Name all you can think of.arrow_forwardI'm confused about glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Question: What is the function of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase? Is it because of -> The incorporation of a phosphate from ATP and reduction of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or ->The incorporation of phosphate from inorganic phosphate and reduction of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. or -> The incorporation of phosphate from inorganic phosphate and oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphatearrow_forward
- What is(are) the only active site(s) not used in the second round of fatty acid synthase? Select all that apply. Group of answer choices Acetyl-CoA ACP Transacylase Beta-Ketoacyl- ACP Synthase Beta-Ketoacyl- ACP Dehydrase Palmitoyl thioesterase Malonyl-CoA ACP Transacylase Enoyl-ACP Reductasearrow_forwardIf the brain needs glucose, then gluconeogenesis stops after reaction (9, 8, 10, 2) because (phosphoenolpyruvate, glucose, glucose-6-phosphaet, fructose-6-phosphate) can be exported from the hepatocyte using a transporter.arrow_forwardWrite a one-sentence explanation for each of the following statements. (a) In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cyclic AMP. Although one might expect glucagon also to stimulate catabolism of the glucose formed, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates glu- coneogenesis in liver. (b) An individual with a glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency suffers from chronic hypoglycemia. (c) The action of phosphorylase kinase simultaneously activates glycogen breakdown and inhibits glycogen synthesis. (d) The presence in liver of glucose-6-phosphatase is essential to the function of the liver in synthesizing glucose for use by other tissues.arrow_forward

Select all that apply. Acetyl-CoA ACP Transacylase Beta-Ketoacyl- ACP Synthase Beta-Ketoacyl- ACP Dehydrase Palmitoyl thioesterase Malonyl-CoA ACP Transacylase Enoyl-ACP Reductasearrow_forwardCompare and contrast the following items related to lipid metabolism. Cite their main similarities/or differences. 1. Steroid hormones vs. prostaglandins (in terms of their biosynthetic pathways). 2.

- TRUE or FALSE b-hydroxybutyrate is not a ketone body a ketotic state acetoacetate is produced from high levels of insulin Tissues that lack mitochondria cannot utilize ketone bodies The brain never oxidizes fatty acids Synthesis of Triglycerides requires a condensation type of reaction Enzyme increase the activation energy of a reaction that leads to a faster reaction rate Working muscle burns fatty acids True [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ]arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction sequence. glucose 1-phosphate + UTP UDP-glucose +-0-P-0- UDP-glucose + (glucose), UDP + (glucose),+1 Which of the following characterizes this process? consumes energy O all of these anabolic O a step in gluconeogenesisarrow_forward1. Is glycolysis catabolic or anabolic? Discuss the importance of glycolysis. 2. What triggers gluconeogenesis? Then, what is the main purpose of gluconeogenesis?arrow_forward
