Question
Which one of the following statements concerning disorders of muscle
a) Mutations in animals can spread rapidly because of line breeding to prolific males.
b) The low rate of metabolism and ATP consumption in muscle and nerve makes effects of mitochondrial myopathies less observable in these tissues.
c) Glycogen storage diseases resulting from mutations in glycolytic and glycogen pathway genes typically cause accumulation of abnormal glycogen and/or exercise intolerance.
d) Lipid storage myopathies can result from deficiencies in enzymes of Beta-oxidation and lead to the accumulation of triglyceride droplets in muscle fibers. .

- In hemoglobin from patients with sickle cell anemia, the hemoglobin ß-chains have a single amino substitution that results in: A) A sticky spot in the hemoglobin causing polymerization O B) A change in the oxygen binding to hemoglobin that causes formation of polymers C) Changes in the interaction between B-chains and x-chains OD) Changes in binding of 2,3-bisphosphoglyceratearrow_forwardThe one i have to use to answer these questions are Prolactin please :)arrow_forwardFor each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). A. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy). B. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone). C. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).arrow_forward

- Protein-X has a calcium (Ca²+)-binding regulatory subunit. Upon calcium (Ca²+) binding the protein changes its own conformation resulting in the conformation change of protein-Y. As a result of this calcium (Ca²+)-dependent protein-X mediated conformational change protein-Y exposes the myosin II head binding sites on the skeletal muscle actin filaments. Identify the protein-X and protein-Y from the following choices. O Protein-X: Troponin; Protein-Y: Tropomysosin O Protein-X: Tropomodulin; CapZ O Protein-X: Nebulin; Protein-Y: Titin Protein-X: Tropomysosin; Protein-Y: Tropomodulinarrow_forwardWhat two 3-carbon molecules are generated by the cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate?A) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerateB) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphateC) pyruvate and phosphoenolpyruvateD) enolase and 2-phosphoglycerateE) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and pyruvatearrow_forwardSome are unable to taste thiourea and PTC.
