A 9 year old girl drank a very strong syrup she found in the the kitchen pantry.
She became pale and extremely weak. Based on your observation, she was very
thin, her hair was grey to red, sparse and pluckable. The skin was dry, shiny and
generally hypopigmented. Skeletal X-ray showed generalized osteoporosis.
While her Acetyl coenzyme A reading is normal, further biochemical analysis of
mitochondria revealed reduced ATP presence in her system. Identify her health
and medical issue and correlate those issue to the biological pathways in Lecture
14 - Glycolysis, Kreb Cycle and Electron Transport System. Then find a solution
to help the girl.
