Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for citrate being an inhibitor for phosphofructokinase must be determined.

Concept introduction:

Phosphofructokinase is the most important regulator in the process of glycolysis. It is composed of 4 subunits and is controlled by various inhibitors and activators. It catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. It is inhibited by ATP and citrate.

Fill in the blanks below (input numbers only!) about the metabolism of hexanoic acid, a fatty acid that is one of the components of vanilla, and whose formula is CH3(CH2)4COOH: First, the fatty acid is activated by attaching CoA, which costs ATP molecules. The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will be
. Glucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA car- boxylase activity by several mechanisms. Name all you can think of.
Acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA are both highenergy thioesters, but their chemical energy is put to differentuses. Elaborate.
