Suppose a patient has correctly diagnosed GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) deficiency.  Would this patient have lower steady state levels of NADPH in the presence of normal steady state glucose levels?  Why is NADPH an important byproduct of the pentose phosphate pathway anyways?

How come high levels of NADH indicate reduced coenzymes rather than oxidized coenzymes? Isn't pyruvate oxidized by the reduction of NAD+ to NADH? Why is the answer reduced then?

The glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and glucokinase (in human liver cells) catalyze the conversion of: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate into 3-phosphoglycerate (producing ATP) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (producing NADH) phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate (producing ATP) fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (consuming ATP) glucose into glucose-6-phosphate (consuming ATP)   Which of the following glycolytic enzymes must consume ATP during phosphorylation of its preferred substrate molecule? phosphoglycerate mutase succinate dehydrogenase phosphoglycerate kinase phosphofructokinase pyruvate kinase

What is the first cofactor to accept electrons from pyruvate in the Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex? Thymine pyroposphate lipoyllysine FAD NAD⁺

The following incorrect description of the HMS path is () A, 6-P-glucose can be converted into pentose phosphate through this pathway B. Four-carbon and seven-carbon sugars can be provided through this route C. For every mole of carbon dioxide produced when 6-P-glucose is converted to pentose phosphate, it also produces 1 mole of NADPH D, 6-P-glucose is decomposed in this way without consumption of ATP Among the following enzyme-catalyzed reactions that can generate substrate level phosphorylation to generate GTP are () A, hexokinase B, enolase C, succinate thiokinase D, succinate dehydrogenase The limiting factor of fatty acid synthesis in cell fluid is (). A, condensation enzyme B, hydration enzyme C, lipoacyl group transferase D, acetyl-CoA carboxylase Which of the following amino acids is an essential amino acid? () A.Thr B.Lys C.Met D.Arg

Activation of the fatty acid (converting it to fatty acyl-SCoA) requires the expenditure of 2 ATPs. Use your answers from parts B and C to calculate the total number of ATPs generated from the metabolism of a saturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms including both the citric acid cycle and the ββbeta-oxidation pathway as well as the initial ATP required to produce the acyl-SCoA molecule that starts the process. Express your answer as an integer.
