If the alpha-ketoacid product from the transaminase reaction that uses alanine and alpha-ketoglutarate as substrates goes on to make glucose via the __________ pathway, then the amino acid carbon skeleton is considered to be __________.     ANSWER       citric acid cycle; ketogenic   glycogen synthesis; ketogenic   glycolysis; glucogenic   gluconeogenesis; glucogenic

Acetyl-CoA is produced when ____ is broken down.

A fatty acid (a long straight-chain carboxylic acid with an even number of carbons) is metabolized to acetyl- CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle to be further metabolized (Section 24.9). A fatty acid with anodd number of carbons is metabolized to acetyl-CoA and one equivalent of propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA cannot enter the citric acid cycle. Two coenzyme-requiring enzymes are needed to convert it to succinyl-CoA, acompound that can enter the citric acid cycle. Write the two enzyme-catalyzed reactions and include the names of the required coenzymes.

Metabolic processes that generate FADH2 are: (Select all that apply).     Krebs Cycle     Glycolysis     PDH     Fatty Acid Synthesis     Electron Transport Chain     Gluconeogenesis     Beta oxidation

Which of the following metabolic pathways does NOT takes place in muscle cells? Tricarboxylic acid cycle Glycogenesis Glycogenolysis Conversion of ketone bodies to acetyl CoA Pentose phosphate pathway

Please answer this question with the simplest answer and no more than five sentences

Which of the following enzymes consumes one molecule of NADH, during anaerobic fermentation in humans, as it converts a three-carbon substrate molecule into a three-carbon product molecule? succinate dehydrogenase pyruvate decarboxylase C. isocitrate dehydrogenase lactate dehydrogenase alcohol dehydrogenase

Why does epinephrine stimulate glycolysis? I know why epinephrine stimulates glycogenolysis which is to release glucose stores. But epinephrine stimulating glycolysis seems counterintuitive as it would synthesize less glucose and more pyruvate?

In transamination processes, pyridoxal phosphate is an essential coenzyme. This coenzyme has previously been observed in glycogen metabolism. Pyridoxal phosphate is required by which enzyme in glycogen metabolism, and what function does the coenzyme perform in this enzyme?

In a diabetic liver, which of the following pathways would be constantly active? O glycolysis O glycogen synthesis O ketone body oxidation O gluconeogenesis O fatty acid synthesis
