- Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin levels or a reduced number of red blood cells (both of which transport oxygen to cells). A common symptom of anemia is tiredness. Please do not copy answers from another website/source. a) Briefly explain what the consequences are of anemia on cellular energy production. b) Suggest at least one other cellular effect of anemia and a brief explanation of this effect.arrow_forwardA 48-year-old woman with a 3-day history of nausea and vomiting has deep sighing respiration and her breath smells sweet. The receiving physician's clinical diagnosis is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Further investigations revealed: plasma glucose is very high (often>40 mmol/L), along with raised urea and creatinine. With the patient's condition, discuss the biochemistry why she became hypovolemic?arrow_forwardIf "P-labeled inorganic phosphate were introduced to erythrocytes undergoing glycolysis, would you detect "P in the glycolytic intermediates? Suppose the results are positive, explain the relevant reaction(s) and the incorporation of P that you would observe.arrow_forward
- Diabetic ketoacidosis is characterized by an increased level of ketone bodies, which causes metabolic acidosis. A patient in diabetic ketoacidosis will have an altered rate of ventilation. Will the patient be hyperventilating or hypoventilating? How will a change in the rate and depth of ventilation compensate for an acidosis that is metabolic in nature?arrow_forwardPanthothenic acid is involved in the metabolic pathways as coenzyme:arrow_forwardAge-related macular degeneration (ARMD) within the eye is a disease that is closely related to atherosclerosis. In ARMD, drusen are formed, which is similar to an atherosclerotic plaque, and ultimately vision is distorted. Given the close relationship between atherosclerosis and ARMD, what is likely to accumulate in drusen? OA) Cholesterol. OB) HMG-CoA reductase. OC) HDL. OD) Mevalonate.arrow_forward
- Ketoacidosis is a condition that can arise in an individual with diabetes due to excessive production of ketone bodies. Is this condition classified as metabolic acidosis or respiratory acidosis? Explain.arrow_forwardAbsorbed from the intestines into the blood, nitrites (NO2-) interact with the hemoglobin of the blood and block its respiratory function, turning part of the hemoglobin (HbFe2+) into methemoglobin (HbFe3+), unable to transfer oxygen from the lungs to tissues. With the formation of a large amount of methemoglobin, oxygen starvation of tissues occurs, which can cause damage to the central nervous system.10 to 20 % - of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - asymptomatic cyanosis,20 to 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - hypoxia develop,> 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - the person will die.The body weight of the average person is 60 kg. Blood mass averages 8% of a person’s body weight; blood density ρ = 1,050 g/cm3, the hemoglobin (Hb) content in it is 14 g per 100 ml.molecular weight of hemoglobin 65-68 kg/mol (use 68 kg/mol for calculation). Assume that 1 mole of hemoglobin reacts with one mole of nitrite ion to form 1 NO molecule:HbFe2+ + NO2- → HbFe3+ + NOwill a 290 mg dose of sodium nitrite be…arrow_forwardHemoglobin molecules exposed to high levels of glucose areconverted to glycated products. The most common, referred to as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), contains a b-chain glycatedadduct. Because red blood cells last about 3 months, HbA1Cconcentration is a useful measure of a patient’s blood sugarcontrol. In general terms, describe why and how HbA1Cforms.arrow_forward
- Does oxidase, catalyzes the oxidation of molecular oxygen? True or Falsearrow_forwardYou have received a laboratory report showing the presence of a HIGH concentration of ketone bodies in the urine of a patient (ketosis). a) What disease would you suspect in this patient and why? b) Explain why ketone bodies accumulate in such patients, and the sequence of events that lead to their formation. Include the location, any pathways impacted, and the purpose of ketone formation. c) Give the names of the three different ketone bodies, and indicate which ones are used for fuel in extrahepatic cells. d) When ketones are used by extrahepatic cells for fuel, why is a new enzyme used in the pathway (why not simply reverse the pathway used to form ketones)? Explain.arrow_forwardIn type I diabetes mellitus, excessive production of acetyl-CoA may surpass the body’s capacity to oxidize it. As a result, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone (ketone bodies) accumulate. When generated in large amounts, blood pH falls, thereby reducing the capacity of red blood cells to carry oxygen. Explain in general terms how high concentrations of ketone bodies may result in a fatal coma.arrow_forward
