- ROS, not ROUS. What are the reactive oxygen species and why are they especially dangerous to cells?arrow_forwardSources of Glucose during Starvation. The typical human adult uses about 160 g of glucose per day, 120 g of which is used by the brain. The available reserve of glucose (~20 g of circulating glucose and ~190 g of glycogen) is adequate for about one day. After the reserve has been depleted during starvation, how would the body obtain more glucose?arrow_forwardThe Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?arrow_forward
- Not sure about both. Please helparrow_forwardFo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22). The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)? What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions? What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.arrow_forwardIonization State of Histidine.Each ionizable group of an amino acid can exist in one of two states, charged or neutral. The electric charge on the functional group is determined by the relationship between its pKa and the pH of the solution. This relationship is described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. 1.Histidine has three ionizable functional groups. Write the equilibrium equations for its three ion-izationsand assign the proper pKa for each ionization. Draw the structure of histidine in each ionization state.What is the net charge on the histidine molecule in each ionization state? 2.Which structure drawn in (1) corresponds to theionization state of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and12?Note that the ionization state can be approximated by treating each ionizable group independently. 3.What is the net charge of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and 12? For each pH, will histidine migrate to-ward the anode (+) or cathode (-) when placed in an electric field?arrow_forward
