Concept introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the species that are formed from the
ROS are important for the body but they have to be eliminated when they are not required as they are harmful when not needed.
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the chemical reaction for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into undesirable products within cells.
Concept introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the species that are formed from the
ROS are important for the body but they have to be eliminated when they are not required. They are harmful to the human body so they are eliminated when they are not needed.

- Match the enzyme name to the description of the type of reaction that it catalyzes. Each choice can only be used once. 1. Transfers a hydride ion in a redox reaction and decarboxylates. 2. Forms a double bond through a dehydration reaction. 3. Combines an aldose and a ketose together in the first step and then cleaves the intermediate molecule into a new aldose and new ketose. Is NOT sensitive to a Vitamin B1 deficiency. 4. Acts as both an enzyme and a scaffold for the formation of a glucose homopolymer. 5. Transfers the gamma phosphoryl group from ATP to a carbohydrate. answer choices: a. glycogen synthase b. glycogenin c. enolase d. PFK-1 e.

- Ethylene glycol (HO−CH2−CH2−OH) is a major component of antifreeze. In the body, it is first converted to HOOC−CHO (oxoethanoic acid) and then to HOOC−COOH (oxalic acid), which is toxic. What class of enzyme catalyzes both of the reactions of ethylene glycol? The treatment for the ingestion of ethylene glycol is an intravenous solution of ethanol. How might this help prevent toxic levels of oxalic acid in the body?arrow_forwardA patient had severe acid reflux symptoms and decided to take the antacid, Amphojel (aluminum hydroxide).
