Why is diaeehea a symptom of lactose intolerance?
1-Undigested lactose converts into H20 in the digestive tract via enzymatic reactions, resulting in watery feces.
2-Your nervous system detects the lactose and stimulates your bladder to release fluids to your digestive tract.
3-Bacteria in your gut releases toxins in response to the lactose.
4-Undigested lactose sugars creates a large osmotic gradient for water, which pulls water into the digestive tract.
What is the advantage of using ATP as a common energy source?Another way of asking this question is, “Why does ATP provide anadvantage over using a bunch of different food molecules?” For example,instead of just having a Na+/K+-ATPase in a cell, why not have manydifferent ion pumps, each driven by a different food molecule, like aNa+/K+-glucosase (a pump that uses glucose), a Na+/K+-sucrase (a pumpthat uses sucrose), a Na+/K+-fatty acidase (a pump that uses fatty acids),and so on?

- Figure 7.11 Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an "uncoupler" that makes the inner mitochondrial membrane "leaky" to protons. It was used until 1938 as a weight- loss drug. What effect would you expect DNP to have on the change in pH across the inner mitochondrial membrane? Why do you think this might be an effective weight-loss drug? Intermembrane space Mitochondrial matrix ATP Synthase ADP Inner mitochondrial membrane ATP Figure 7.11 ATP synthase is a complex, molecular machine that uses a proton (H) gradient to form ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). (Credit: modification of work by Klaus Hoffmeier)arrow_forwardDrugs are small molecules that often occur in either a neutral or a charged form, depending on pH. For example, aspirin can be either neutral or lose a proton to be negatively charged. When aspirin is charged, it does not diffuse well into the body. pH varies in the gastrointestinal track. Since the stomach has a low pH (pH=3), it has a larger concentration of neutral aspirin (10-3 M), while the small intestine (pH=6) has a smaller neutral aspirin concentration (10-6 M). For the following, assume that the neutrally charged aspirin molecule has a diffusion coefficient through the cell of 1 x 10-6 cm2/s. C) We’d like to figure out where in the body aspirin is absorbed as determined by its diffusion rate. If the small intestine has a surface area 50 times that of the stomach, what is the ratio of the diffusion rates in the stomach compared to the small intestine? D) In which part of the GI tract is most of the aspirin absorbed?arrow_forwardDrugs are small molecules that often occur in either a neutral or a charged form, depending on pH.

- Is it likely that any metabolic pathway can exist without control mechanisms?arrow_forwardWhy does a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation system allow more sensitive regulation of a metabolic process than a simple allosteric system?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about de novo purine synthesis is true? (A) Purine nucleotides are formed by separately synthesizing the phosphorylated ribose and the purine ring and then joining them together.(B) GMP is formed first and is used as a precursor to form AMP.(C) The synthesis of AMP from inosinate is driven forward by ATP hydrolysis. (D) GMP synthetase uses NADPH and glutamine to modify the inosinate ring to form GMP.(E) Replacement of the C-1 PPi on PRPP with an amine is required to construct the purine ring on the ribose sugar.arrow_forward
- What is the enzymatic activity of sodium-potassium ATPase (pump)? binds to and hydrolyzes ATP; binds to 3 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 2 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasm binds to and hydrolyzes ATP; binds to 2 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 3 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasm binds to and hydrolyzes GTP; binds to 3 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases into nucleus; binds to 2 K+ inside cell and releases into lysosome binds to and hydrolyzes 3 ATP; binds to 1 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 1 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasmarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is FALSE regarding oxidative phosphorylation? The pH is higher in the matrix relative to that in the inter-membrane space. A large positive difference in reduction potential is associated with a small negative free energy change. Electrons from FADH2 enter at complex II because the reduction potential of FADH2 is greater than that of redox centers in complex I. Oxidation and phosphorylation are coupled via a proton gradient.arrow_forward3) Read the situations below and indicate which of the four methods of enzyme regulation is occurring for each. a) The energy-carrying molecule ATP is made by the enzyme ATP synthase. Muscle cells use a lot of energy and also have higher amounts of the ATP synthase enzyme than many other cell types. General mechanism of enzyme regulation: S b) Prostaglandins are messenger molecules involved in the inflammatory response, as well as the perception of pain. They are synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates by an enzym called cyclo-oxygenase. "Ibuprofen" is the active ingredient in a variety of anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin® and Advil®. It reduces pain and swelling by binding to a hydrophobic channel in the active site of cyclo-oxygenase, blocking the polyunsaturated fatty acids from binding to the enzyme, and therefore stopping production of prostaglandins.
