Briefly explain the malate-aspartate shuttle. Distinguish between this shuttle with the glycerol phosphate shuttle based upon their transport of reducing equivalents and their potential for ATP synthesis.

Explain the purpose of the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle (Don’t worry about the mechanism, just the purpose of the shuttle. Just one sentence here!). Suppose a cell could only rely on the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle and not the malate-aspartate shuttle, how would that affect the amount of ATP that could be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose in that cell? How would this change the amount of ATP that could be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of palmitate in this cell?

Which of the following tissue/cell type DOES NOT exclusively uses glucose as energy source in humans? A. The red blood cells B. The neurons C. The brain D. The liver

Give Detailed Solution with explanation...(no need Handwritten)

Why does PGAL have the highest potential energy of glycolysis?

Which of the following is a true statement regarding sphingolipid synthesis? (A) The first step in sphingolipid synthesis is the condensation of palmitoyl CoA with aspartate to form b-ketosphinganine.(B) This process requires the reduction of a ketone that uses NADH as the reducing agent.(C) A fatty acid is attached to dihydrosphingosine to form dihydroceramide. (D) FAD is using as an oxidizing agent to remove a double bond from dihydroceramide.(E) The formation of sphingomyelin requires the attachment of a glucose or galactose molecule to ceramide.

Outline the mechanisms of the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis.

Identify the structure of the metabolites below, and name their glycolytic enzyme and metabolic step:   Glucose 6-phosphoglucose 1-phosphoglucose Fructose 1-, 6-biphosphofructose Phosphoenol pyruvate 2-phosphoglycerate 3-phosphoglycerate Lactate o Pyruvate

is this correct ? please can you kindly explain each statement

Calculate the energy(Kcal.) produced from full oxidation of (3) mole of glucose (glucose --> CO2+ H2O), Compare the energy yield with that produced from oxidation of (1) mole .of stearic acid (C18)
