More than one answer (fate) may apply in a given situation. NAD* is a product. (Select all that apply.) O pyruvate - lactate - ethanol O pyruvate → lactate O pyruvate → acetyl CoA b NADH is a reactant. (Select all that apply.) U pyruvate → lactate → ethanol O pyruvate -→ lactate O pyruvate → acetyl CoA c NAD* is a reactant. (Select all that apply.) O pyruvate → lactate O pyruvate → acetyl CoA O pyruvate → lactate → ethanol Previous Next

which statement is true for the following reaction?

Under aerobic conditions when glucose is limiting, with high ratios of NADH/NAD+ and ATP/ADP, as carbon-2 radiolabeled pyruvate is utilized for its carbon skeleton, which molecules would you expect to see significant radiolabeling in the liver? Select all that apply. (multiple answers) Glucose C-2 only Label is halved over many TCA cycles Oxaloacetate Glucose C-1 and C-6 Glucose C-2 and C-5 CO2 from TCA cycle shows some radiolabel Lactate C-2 for export Malate Pyruvate C-1

What is this question?

1. (a) The reaction catalyzed by citrate synthase is the first step of the TCA cycle. In glycolysis, two key reactions to produce ATP occur because an unfavorable reaction is coupled to another reaction that is thermodynamically favorable. The reaction catalyzed by citrate synthase is similarly coupled to an unfavorable reaction in the TCA cycle. Write the unfavorable TCA reaction using structural formulas and write the key step that drives the two coupled reactions forward. What is the overall AG" of the coupled reactions? (b). K(yM) 25.7 Inhibitor Bromoacetyl-CoA ATP NADH 6800 8300 The inhibitor constants for three inhibitors of por- cine citrate synthase are summarized in the table on the right. The compounds were all determined to bind in the ac- tive site as competitive inhibitors of acetyl-CoA. Because they bind as competitive inhibitors, all three inhibitors must exhibit structural similarity to some part of acetyl-CoA. Look up in the textbook the structural formulas for…

hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disease.  Dick does not have hemophilia.  His wife Debi is a heterozygote. They are having fraternal twins, one of each sex, who they have named Dick Jr. and Debi Jr.  What are the chances of Dick Jr. having hemophilia?  Debi Jr.?

Fatty acids are activated for breakdown through the action of acyl-CoA synthestase. Which of the following statements regarding acyl-CoA synthetase is not true? ● It catalyzes the addition of CoA to the fatty acid One of the products of the reaction is ADP. O The free energy change for the reaction catalyzed by this reaction is close to 0 kJ/mol, but the subsequent hydrolysis of pyrophosphate drives the reaction forward. O The reaction results in the formation of a thioester bond.

Fill in the blanks below (input numbers only!) about the metabolism of hexanoic acid, a fatty acid that is one of the components of vanilla, and whose formula is CH3(CH2)4COOH: First, the fatty acid is activated by attaching CoA, which costs ATP molecules. The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will be

ATP, like ADP and AMP, is a competitive inhibitor of NADH binding to malate dehydrogenase. Provide a structural explanation for this inhibition.
