Question
1.Sustaining intense exercise requires ATP. Could a someone with a defective gene for the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase meet the ATP demand for sustained and intense exercise? Why or why not? Be sure to support your argument with discussion of the metabolic pathways and tissues impacted.
2.Genetic carriers for metabolic diseases (persons heterozygous for a recessive mutation) produce about half the normal amount of the affected enzyme, but rarely exhibit any symptoms or effects. Rationalize this observation, based on your knowledge of the flux and regulation of metabolic pathways.

- 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.arrow_forward1. A variation in the gene that codes for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase: a. causes an increase in the synthesis of an enzyme involved in folate metabolism b. decreases the risk for developing neural tube defects and cardiovascular disease c. may increase an individual’s daily requirement for dietary folate d. changes an individual’s response to a diet high in polyunsaturated fatty acids 2.

Describe what causes obesity in an individual using the Laws of Thermodynamics and nutrition. Caution: if you want to introduce genetics into this, be careful. Much of the genetics behind obesity is dependent on the "types" of nutrition. Basically, some people have metabolic pathways that are poorly suited for some types of nutrition. Also, the "image of beauty" is not the same as healthy weight and obesity. Yeah, it is complex...try not to be complex. Try to stick with Thermodynamics (aka, Conservation of Energy). Obesity in individuals mostly comes from the food that is consumed. In some rare cases it also comes from thyroid issues that the individual is sick with. The laws of thermodynamics include these 3 laws: the first one states that energy cannot be produced or abolished in an remote system, the second one states that entropy of an remote system always surges, and finally the third law states that the entropy of a scheme slants at a continuous cost as the temperature…arrow_forward
