Be sure that you make clear the source of these products.(i) A patient who is diagnosed with thiamine deficiency exhibited fatigue and muscle cramps.

(ii) Lipoate is synthesized in human from carbohydrate and amino acids. It does not require a vitamin precursor. In the absence of lipoate, there is reduced production of acetyl-CoA, Provide reasons for this observation.1) Humans do not undergo net synthesis of carbohydrate from acetyl- CoA, yet carbons of acetyl -CoA can be incorporated into glucose and amino acids.

Would this help make the reaction more or less energetically favorable? A) Loss of CO2 increases entropy (AS) and therefore decreases the favorability of the reaction (AG). B) Loss of CO2 has no effect on entropy (AS) and therefore does not affect the favorability of the reaction (AG). C) Loss of CO2 increases entropy (AS) and therefore increases the favorability of the reaction (AG). D) Loss of CO2 decreases entropy (AS) and therefore decreases the favorability of the reaction (AG). E) Loss of CO2 decreases entropy (AS) and therefore increases the favorability of the reaction (AG).
