An 90 kg subject consumed a snack that contained 80 g of carbohydrate. Before eating the snack the subject’s blood glucose was 6.0 mmol.L-1. Calculate the concentration of glucose (mM) that would be reached in the blood after consuming the snack. Assume that all the carbohydrate in the snack was converted to glucose, rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the extracellular water (ECW) within 30 minutes. Assume ECW is approximately 20% of body weight and the glucose is not metabolised further.

A supersaturated solution of sucrose (C12H22O11) is made by dissolving sucrose in hot water and slowly letting the solution cool to room temperature. After a long time, the excess sucrose crystallizes out of the solution. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false: After the excess sucrose has crystallized out, the system is now unstable and is not in equilibrium.

1. Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive penicillinase, an enzyme present in some penicillin-resistant bacteria. The molecular weight of this enzyme in Staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kilo Daltons (29.6 kg/mole or 29,600 g/mole or 29,600 ng/nmole) The amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 2 minute in a 10-mL solution containing 109 g (1 ng) of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. Assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. [Hint: Convert everything to the same concentration terms] Show all calculations and include spreadsheets and graphs to determine Km, Vmax and kcat for this enzyme. Make sure your final answers have correct units. [Another hint: Note that [S] and amount hydrolyzed are already in concentration terms. So you don't need to worry about the volume for calculating [S] and V. ] Penicillin concentration (microM) Amount hydrolyzed (nanoM) 1 110 3 250 5 340 10 450 30 580…
A normal fasting blood sugar level is 0.0039 – 0.0055 mol / L. For a 3.0 x 10-4 mL sample of blood, calculate the maximum mass of glucose, C6H12O6, (in grams) that corresponds to a normal result.

However, acetoacetic acid can decompose to form carbon dioxide and acetone in a nonreversible reaction. Answer the following by using LeChatelier’s Principle. What effect would the nonreversible decomposition of acetoacetic acid have on the equilibrium between 3-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid? (i.e. which way would if shift?) What effect would the nonreversible decomposition of acetoacetic acid have on the concentration of 3-hydroxybutric acid? (i.e. would it go up or down)
