Tracing Carbon Atom Incorporation in Fatty Acids (Integrates with Chapters 18 and 19.) Use the relationships shown in Figure 24.1 to determine which carbons of glucose will be incorporated into palmitic acid. Consider the cases of both citrate that is immediately exported to the cytosol following its synthesis and citrate that enters the TCA cycle.
Palmitoleic acid, 16:1Δ⁹ hexadecaenoic acid, (16 carbon FA with one double bond )is an important fatty acid component of TAGs and cell membranes. Briefly explain the process of beta oxidation of this fatty acid and the number (only) of FADH, NADH and acetyl CoA outcome. What is the total ATP (only number) generated from this fatty acid after beta oxidation.
Starch synthase in plants contains a single active site that accommodatesADP–glucose. However, cellulose synthase may contain two UDP–glucose-binding active sites. Given the structural diff erences between starch and cellulose, explain why two substrate-binding sites would promote effi cient cellulose synthesis.
In the first cycle of fatty acid synthesis via the acyl carrier protein system, the acetyl group on fatty acid synthase condenses with the malonyl-ACP complex. Draw the structure of the products of this reaction. Respresent ACP by R1 do not include free synthase Be sure to include charges on atoms at Ph=7
The second step during elongation of fatty acid chain is catalyzed by B-ketoacyl reducatse. In which 2 ways is this reaction different from the corresponding reaction in fatty acid degradation?
Glycolysis After digestion of carbohydrates, glucose enters the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm, glycolysis takes place where glucose-6-phosphate (a 6C-molecule) is split into two 3C molecules of gly-3-P, producing 2 pyruvates. The two pyruvates are then converted to two acetyl-CoA and enter the mitochondria where the citric acid occurs. 1. What reactions are involved in the so called, energy-investing reactions? What chemical compound is needed to initiate the reaction? 2. Cite the steps in the glycolysis pathway where these energy-investing reactions occur. 3. The conversion from glu-6-P to fru-6-P involves isomerization, why? 4. What stages in the glycolysis pathway are considered energy harvesting reactions? What are the products of these reactions that will prove its energy yield? 5. The conversion from gly3-P to 1,3-diP uses NAD+ and a dehydrogenase enzyme. What is the role of NAD+? What reactions therefore are involved in these conversions? 6. The conversion…

Although animals cannot synthesize glucose from acetyl-CoA, if a rat is fed 14C-labeled acetate, some of the label appears in glycogen extracted from its muscles. Explain.
Which of the following statements is true O Sphingomyelin posses phosphoryl serine in addition to two long hydrocarbon chains, one contributed by a fatty acid and the other by sphingosine OLipid compositions of membrane mono-layers are symmetrical O Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond(s) in the cis configuration In ABO blood typing, lack of glycosyltransferase and galactosyltransferase produces AB blood group
Glycerophospholipids Phosphatidylethanolamine 3. In case the cell is in a state requiring large amount of ATP to support energy-requiring reactions/pathways, assuming that you have 1 mole of each of the said lipids are catabolized and complete oxidized, will the total net ATP yield from these two lipids be higher or lower than the sum of the net ATPs generated from each fatty acid components? Justify your answer in biochemical terms and using 5 sentences or less.
Prostaglandins are a group of lipid compounds having diverse hormone-like activities in animals. They are biosynthesized from the fatty acid arachidonic acid, catalyzed by the enzyme cyclooxygenase. The biosynthesis involves via a multistep radical mechanism. Can u show me in a stepwise mechanism how it is converted from radical intermediate A to prostaglandin PGG2.
