Several enzymes, for example, hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase, can bind to lipoproteins. There are mutant variants of these enzymes that bind lipoproteins but are not catalytically active. Cells expressing these mutants can still absorb cholesterol. What does that tell us about the functions of these proteins in cholesterol absorption? A. The proteins are acting as receptors for lipoproteins B. Hydrolysis of neutral lipids is not required C.A and B D. None of the above

Phosphotidyicholine is a structural lipid in the liver plasma membrane that is essential for the export of fatty acids and tríacylglycerol from liver. A diet low in choline will contribute to fatty liver disease due to inefficiant lipid export from liver. Which lipoprotein would likely be involved in the phophotidlycholine-depedent export of lipid from liver? O LDL O albumin O HDL O VLDL
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about the PPP? A. Most active in cells where lipids are synthesized. B. Reactions involved are oxidative and non-oxidative. C. Also called the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway. D. Occurs in the cytosol.
When the pathogen Salmonella typhimurium infects mammalian cells, the host cell protease caspase-1 is enabled to cleave and thereby activate signaling proteins that instigate the immune response. The targets of caspase-1 also include aldolase and enolase. What eff ect would this have on the infected cell and why might this be advantageous to the organism?
Which of the following molecules would inhibit, either directly or indirectly, the protein phosphatase, PP-1? O A. Insulin O B. Glucose C. None of the choices presented in this question are correct D. Glucagon O E. Glucose 6-phosphate
Understanding the Mechanism of Hemolytic Anemia Genetic defects in glycolytic enzymes can have serious consequences for humans For example, defects in the gene for pyruvate kinase can result in a condition known as hemolytic anemia. Consult a reference to learn about hemolytic anemia, and discuss why such genetic defects lead to this condition.
Order the steps that results in a triacylglycerol containing two palmitic acids and one stearic acid. a. Diacylglycerol reacts with an fatty-acyl-CoA b. Phosphate is remove from phosphatidic acid to form diacylglycerol c. Two of the fatty acyl-CoAs react with glycerol-3-phosphate d. An elongase produce stearic acid e. Stearoyl-CoA is synthesized…
Acid phosphatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human blood serum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyze biological phosphate esters as follows in the picture Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver, and prostate gland. The enzyme from the prostate gland is clinically important because an increased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostate gland.Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostate gland, but not acid phosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostate gland in human blood serum?
Which of the statements below regarding glyphosate are true? (Choose all true statements) A.Glyphosate interacts with EPSP synthase because it resembles the substrate S-3P B.The interaction of S-3P is necessary for glyphosate binding. C.Glyphosate likely binds to both conformations of EPSP synthase shown in question 7. D.Glyphosate decreases Km for S-3P and thus likely the increases the affinity of the enzyme for substrate E.Glyphosate likely increases feedback inhibition by the product of the reaction EPSP
