Chapter 47, Problem 12TYU
Summary Introduction
To design: An experiment to test the hypothesis that B vitamin pyridoxine is an essential nutrient in mice.
Introduction: Essential nutrients are the nutrients that cannot be synthesized by one’s own body but are required to carry out the normal physiological functions and must be provided through diet. There are six essential nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water.

You have the task of producing 3 kilogram of porcine (pig) insulin from pig pancreases to create an emergency stockpile of insulin. You know that a typical adult pig has a 269 gram pancreas and it is possible to produce 15 micromoles of purified insulin from 1 kg of pancreatic tissue. How many fresh pig carcasses would you need to produce 3 kg of insulin?
Thinking about our nutritional needs and feeding behavior, propose an evolutionary explanation for why amylase,unlike other digestive enzymes, is secreted into the mouth.
Using specific examples from your learning in biochemistry, explain how glucose breakdown, storage and synthesis occurs and how it is regulated in humans

- Test Your Understanding 10.INTERPRET DATA GLUT 4 is a glucose transporter that functions in adipose (fat) cell plasma membranes. An analysis of adipose cells exposed to insulin showed that a single cell could import glucose at a maximum rate of about 1108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1107 molecules/second. What does this finding tell you about the relative number of GLUT 4 transporters functioning in the plasma membranes of stimulated versus unstimulated cells?arrow_forwardIntroduction to Experiment 2: Protein Digestion by Pepsin In this experiment, we will look at for evidence of protein digestion using albumin, a protein, and Biuret reagent. Biuret reagent is used to test for the presence of proteins, or more specifically, peptide bonds. When long polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn violet, and when shorter polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn a lighter pink color. What is/are the end product(s) of protein digestion? Amino acids What is the purpose of the enzyme pepsin? It helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking down the peptide bonds between amino acids into smaller peptides If protein digestion has occurred, will the solution be violet or pink (choose one)? Hypotheses/Predictions (See Methods section for details): What color do you expect the solution to turn when the P tubes are mixed with Biuret solution and why? P1 P2 P3 P4 The least protein digestion (or none at all) will take place in tubes…arrow_forwardIntroduction to Experiment 2: Protein Digestion by Pepsin In this experiment, we will look at for evidence of protein digestion using albumin, a protein, and Biuret reagent.

- Give typed explanation Leptin is an adipocyte hormone that sends signals to the brain to “eat less” and “metabolise more.” What is the explanation for why leptin injections cause weight loss in the strain of OB mutant mice, but leptin injections have no effect in the majority of obese people? Is this observation analogous to type 1 or type 2 diabetes? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward(a) amylase, (b) invertase, (c) endopeptidase Where would you find the above enzymes in the average mammal?arrow_forwardIntroduction“Mother’s Milk” is packed with proteins, fats and carbohydrates that support thegrowth, development and survival of baby mammals. The sugar lactose is themain carbohydrate in milk. Lactose can be cleaved into two simpler sugars,glucose and galactose, by lactase, an enzyme produced in the small intestine. Thetwo smaller sugars are readily absorbed through the intestinal wall into thebloodstream for delivery to the cells of the body, where they are used for energy. After infant mammals are weaned from their mother’s milk, lactase productionshuts down, presumably because it is no longer needed. This condition is calledlactase nonpersistence – meaning the production of lactase enzyme does notpersist into adulthood. The general condition for mammals is not to consumemilk after weaning and to be lactase non persistent. Some populations ofhumans are unusual in that adults continue to consume milk form othermammals, such as cows.If a person who is lactase nonpersistent drinks milk,…arrow_forward
- Name a pathway in muscles tissue that you would expect is enhanced (or upregulated) by the presence of adrenaline (aka epinephrine) in your veins (and arteries). a) glycogen breakdown b) glycolysis c) citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle d) lipid synthesis e) beta oxidationarrow_forward1. A person ate 200 g of carbohydrates and then did not eat anything for a day. What process of carbon metabolism was stimulated in the liver 14 hours after the last meal? For answer: a) write a diagram of the process that speeds up in the liver after 14 hours after cating; b) indicate the regulatory reactions and their enzymcs; c) describe the mechanism of signal transduction by a hormone that regulates this metabolic pathway.arrow_forwardExperiment The effect of starvation on protein synthesis in Caenorhabditis elegans was studied in this experiment. Worms were kept well fed (C, control) or starved (S) for 6 hours. Ribosomal fractions were isolated from the two groups and centrifuged in separate tubes through 15-60% sucrose density gradients. Fractions were collected from the top of the sucrose gradient. UV absorption at 260 nm (OD260) was measured (A), and RNA isolated from each fraction was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis (B).arrow_forward

This slowing occurs whether the glucose is generated from glycogen hydrolysis or gluconeogenesis. Propose an enzyme that fisetin inhibits and defend your answer. How does the intacellular concentration of citrate affect fructose 1,6-bis phosphatase? [If you cannot remember, try to deduce it.] Describe how this fits into cellular physiology. Describe a situation in gluconeogenesis where having a cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isoenzyme that can catalyze the same reaction provides a benefit. Can the energy in consumed ethanol be stored in glycogen? Explain.arrow_forward
