Describe the hallmarks of the GLUT transporter – a passive glucose transporter, and the basis behind glucose transport in erythrocytes.     Note: please answer above questions using the principles pertaining to biochemistry.

For the two conditions below regarding Glycogenolysis, please explain how glucose release would be affected. Would there be an increased, decrease, or no change compared to “normal” conditions? Also explain which enzyme or reaction is affected and why. Condition 1: the debranching enzyme is inhibited Condition 2: free inorganic phosphate is chelated

Urine samples for each patient were tested for ketone bodies, and a Benedict's reagent and glucose oxidase reaction was also completed. The results are given in the table below, with - indicating a negative result and +, ++ and +++ indicating a positive result of different intensity. Patient A Patient B Patient C Patient D Patient E Ketone Bodies +++ Benedict's Reagent +++ - +++ - +++ Glucose Oxidase +++ +++ + 4. For each individual patient A-E, using the WHO guidelines for the diagnosis of diabetes, write a short paragraph to explain: (a) what you can deduce from the fasting blood glucose and the 2 hour sample of that patient
