**Question:**All of the following statements about glucose are true *except*:- Glucose is metabolized in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic organisms.- On a low-carb diet, keto acids from glucogenic amino acids will be used to synthesize glucose.- Glucose is metabolized in the mitochondria of mature red blood cells.- Under non-starvation conditions, the brain relies exclusively on glucose as its fuel source.**Explanation:**The question presents four statements related to glucose metabolism, asking which one is incorrect. It highlights key concepts about glucose utilization in different biological contexts, including cellular metabolism, dietary impact on glucose synthesis, and energy sources for the brain. Note that mature red blood cells lack mitochondria, affecting how and where glucose is metabolized within these cells.

All of the following statements about glucose are true except: Glucose is metabolized in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic organisms. On a low-carb diet, keto acids from glucogenic amino acids will be used to synthesize glucose. Glucose is metabolized in the mitochondria of mature red blood cells. Under non-starvation conditions, the brain relies exclusively on glucose as its fuel source.

Which of the following statements is falseconcerning acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC)? ACC is more active when protomers condense to form polymers Palmitoyl CoA serves as a feedback inhibitor The source of carbons for ACC comes from the carbon skeletons of malate that is exported from the matrix of the mitochondria in the form of malate Binding of glucagon triggers cAMP production, which leads to inhibition of ACC
Which of the following statements is TRUE about fatty acid biosynthesis? Group of answer choices: NADH is used as the reducing equivalent in the process. Malonyl ACP is the donor of the acetyl group. The product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is usually 18 carbons. Oxaloacetate carries acetyl CoA to the cytosol.
Isozymes: d) One way of regulating metabolic pathways is through isozymes. What is an isozyme? e) Provide a concrete example of an isozyme from carbohydrate metabolism. f) From your chosen isozyme in part b), describe how it is regulated differently in various cells.
The body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to fuel all its activities. These fuels each start down a different path, but they all ultimately end up providing energy by going through the TCA cycle and electron transport chain. Identify which compounds can be formed during metabolism from each fuel source.

which of the following is not true for a muscle that is forced to metabolize glucose anaerobically ? - The cells breakdown glucose faster - The cells produce less ATP per mole of glucose - The cells metabolize glucose to lactate - The activity of the cytosolic gycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase will be required for the muscle to sustain glycolysis - The muscle quickly experiences fatigue if it is deficient in the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase
The brain can also use ketone bodies as fuel in addition to utilising glucose when it is present.Even the use of ketone bodies as a fuel source for the brain rather than glucose is supported by data.How are ketone bodies used by the brain? Discuss how brain metabolism is thought to be changed inneurodegenerative diseases(refer to the figure below) How does the brain benefit from using ketone bodies as fuel in these cases(refer to Figure below)Refer to the article " Effects of Ketone Bodies on Brain Metabolism and Function in Neurodegenerative Diseases" to answer the questions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7699472/
Which of the following is true for eukaryotic cells? Choose one: O Fats are converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondria; sugars are converted to acetyl CoA in the cytosol. O Sugars are converted to acetyl CoA, but fats are not. Fats are converted to acetyl CoA, but sugars are not. Sugars and fats are both converted to acetyl COA in the mitochondria. O Sugars are converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondria; fats are converted to acetyl CoA in the cytosol.
It has been hypothesized that a diet heavy in sugar may lead to a condition known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Explain?
Outline the chemical reactions involved in the process of metabolism of one molecule of glucose until it is reduced to its by-products, carbon dioxide and water molecules, with ATP molecules produced in the process.

Whenever a person consumes dairy products, they utilize lactase enzymes to break down the disaccharide carbohydrate, lactose into monosaccharides: galactose and glucose. Overtime, these enzymes become worn and need to be replaced. The following DNA sequence contains the information needed to build more lactase enzymes: 3’ – ACCTCTTACTTTTATATATAGGGAAGACTAATTGTC – 5’ 5’ – TGGAGAATGAAAATATATATCCCTTCTGATTAACAG– 3’ Which strand is the template strand?
