- As you know, the enzymes regulating glycogen metabolism are under strict control. Which compound(s) below is/are likely to serve as a major (direct or indirect) regulator of enzymes involved in glycogen metabolism (pick the BEST answer)? A. AMP B. Glucose 6-phosphate C. Insulin D. Glucagon E. all of the choices presented in this question are correctarrow_forwardThe enzyme hexokinase binds to glucose at lower glucose concentrations than does the enzyme glucokinase, but glucokinase only binds to glucose (and not to other hexose sugars). This means that: glucokinase has a stronger affinity but a lower specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a stronger affinity and a higher specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a lower affinity but a higher specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a lower affinity and a lower specificity for glucose than does hexokinase all of the abovearrow_forwardFor each molecule of glucose, how many times does the CA cycle proceed? a. thrice b. once c. twice d. four timesarrow_forward
- Glycerol generated from TG hydrolysis in adipocytes is converted by the liver into _________________________, whichserves as a substrate for the synthesis of glucose, amongother moleculesarrow_forwardThe role of NAD+ in cellular respiration is to move high-energy neutrons during the breakdown of glucose. True or falsearrow_forwardGenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved glucose (70. to 105 mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 5.0 mL. Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of glucose that the new system must be able to detect. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forward
- In order to normalize blood sugar levels after a meal, mammalian systems release insulin and rely on a different enzyme to phosphorylate glucose after it enters liver cells. Explain the mechanisms by which these two systems decreases blood sugar to safe levels.arrow_forwardThe enzyme glucokinase binds to glucose at higher glucose concentrations than does the enzyme hexokinase, but glucokinase only binds to glucose (and not to other hexose sugars). This means that: glucokinase has a higher affinity and a higher specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a higher affinity but a lower specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a lower affinity but a higher specificity for glucose than does hexokinase glucokinase has a lower affinity and a lower specificity for glucose than does hexokinase all of the abovearrow_forwardAs a result of complete fasting for 3 days, a significant change in metabolism occurs. How will the level of fatty acids in the blood change? What hormone causes these changes? Justify your answer schematically.arrow_forward
- Glucose must be activated a. The activation process produces 3 ATP. b. In the digestive system before being oxidized in the mitochondria c. In the mitochondria before being oxidized in the cytoplasm d. In the blood before being oxidized in the cytoplasmarrow_forwardHow does the phosphorylation of glucose within cells contribute to homeostasis?" Describe the location, enzyme kinetics and regulation of both hexokinase and glucokinase in this problem. Include the whole point of glucose phosphorylation.arrow_forwardThe hormone glucagon signifies the starved state, yet it inhibits glycolysis in the liver. How does this inhibition of an energy-production pathway benefit the organism?arrow_forward
