There is no enzyme being secreted in the stomach for carbohydrate digestion d.Glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle, which is active in skeletal muscles and in the brain, bypasses Complex I and II of ETC resulting to less energy produced compared to malate-aspartate shuttle. e. Insoluble NSP has high water holding capacity and will increase the intestinal transit time of digesta.

A. Elastase is activated by trypsinB. Trypsinisactivatedbyelastase Which statement is correct? Proteolytic activation of chymotrypsin from chymotrypsinogen requires cleavage of four peptide bonds. Assume that any proteases can convert 100 substrates to 100 products. Activation of one enteropeptidase can eventually lead to formation of how many chymotrypsin proteins?
1. Briefly explain why an individual with Aldolase B deficiency will suffer from hypoglycemia upon ingestion of fructose. Make sure to mention the affected pathways and explain why these are affected. 2. Briefly explain the mechanism involved when an individual with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency develops an episode of hemolytic crisis after eating fava beans. Make sure to mention pathways and enzymes involved.
f. There is a proposal that pyrazole could protect against the damaging effects of alcohol on the liver that result from prolonged decrease in the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] caused by the oxidation of alcohol. ( NAD+ is required for several key dehydrogenation steps in the pathway of glucose synthase. NADH promotes the accumulation of fat in the liver cells) Assuming that pyrazole is not toxic and that it is transported to the liver, evaluate its potential as an antidote to liver damage in treating chronic alcoholism. Would it be a reasonable therapeutical candidate? Explain.
