Assessing a remedy for flatulence Certain foods, particularly beans and legumes, contain substances that are indigestible by the human stomach, but which are readily metabolized by intestinal microorganisms producing flatulence. One of the components of such foods is stachyose. Beano is a commercial product that can prevent flatulence. Describe the likely breakdown of stachyose in the human stomach and intestines and how Beano could contribute to this process. What is the appropriate name of the active ingredient in Beano responsible for preventing flatulence?

Y ANTIBODIES DIETARY B12 PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA HYDROXYCOBALAMIN 5. Pernicious anemia is a disease in which the intestine is unable to absorb vitamin B12, frequently due to the loss of the generically named "intrinsic factor" produced by the parietal cells of the stomach lining. Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein that binds to vitamin B₁2 and is required for its uptake in the ilium. Vitamin B12 is synthesized only by microbes, and we get it either from digesting animal protein or from our commensal microbiome. Vitamin B₁ is unique among metabolic cofactors in that it contains the trace element cobalt, coordinated in a corrin ring structure that is similar to the porphyrin ring system in heme. Loss of intrinsic factor, often through autoimmunity, results in the inability to absorb B12 and ultimately a loss of red blood cells that results in anemia and can be deadly ("pernicious"). ILEUM NUMBNESS (a) In pernicious anemia, N 5-methyltetrahydrofolate accumulates, and cells run out of…

in human 2. Human xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. For the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. several medications are used to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase and reduce the production of uric acid. You are a biochemist and just discovered a chemical that can inhibit the activity of the human xanthine oxidase. When analyzing its mode of inhibition, you found that the enzyme inhibitor complex requires 450 kJ.mol to dissociate and that it displays kinetics somehow similar to noncompetitive inhibition. You sent your inhibitor to the ministry of health for approval as a medication for gout. Based on the data provided, are they going to authorize it as a medication or not? Explain?
The Big Picture " - Metabolic Integration. Metabolic pathways are regulated to maintain homeostasis in the face of changing environmental conditions, such as food supply. Explain how this is achieved during the fed-fast cycle using pathways important for three macronutrients (CHOs, lipids, protein). Also, specify the Signal(s) involved in the modulation of these paths.

Glycerophospholipids Phosphatidylethanolamine 1. classify the fatty acids as essential or non-essential and also as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. 2. Calculate the net ATP yield per fatty acid after complete oxidation. Show your solution using a table of pathways, reducing equivalents, and ATP 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.
