Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required during dehydrogenation reactions that would result in the formation of the product.
Introduction:
The fats disintegrate into fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids enter Krebs’s cycle and get involved in beta-oxidation where its carbons are removed and acetyl CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) are formed. The cholesterol molecules are formed by the utilization of acetyl CoA molecules.
(b)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required in isomerization of L- and D- leucine..
Introduction:
The amino acids are the building blocks of the macromolecules proteins. There are twenty amino acids required to make proteins in all organisms. These proteins participate in the
(c)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required in interconversion of glucose and fructose.
Introduction:
The sugars are carbohydrates that include monosaccharides and disaccharides. The sugars include glucose, sucrose, fructose, maltose, and many more sugars. The sugars are interconvertible and get converted into glucose. The glucose enters glycolysis and generates cellular energy in terms of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
(d)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required in the phosphorylation of glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate.
Introduction:
The digestive products of the fats are “glycerol” and “fatty acids”. The lipase acts on the fat molecules and, the fatty acid and glycerol molecules are formed. The fats are digested in the small intestine.
(e)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required for hydrolysis of a peptide bond.
Introduction:
The proteins are formed by repeated linkage of amino acids through peptide bonds. The amino acids have “carboxyl group”, “amino group” and “R group”. The two amino acids are joined by peptide bond, such that the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with amino group of another amino acid. This result in formation of peptide bond and water molecule is lost.
(f)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required for the dehydrogenation of glycerol.
Introduction:
The digestive products of the fats are “glycerol” and “fatty acids”. The lipase acts on the fat molecules and the fatty acid and glycerol molecules are formed. The fats are digested in the small intestine.
(g)
To determine: The general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required for reduction of acetaldehyde.
Introduction:
The liver performs several functions important for bodily processes. The damage done to liver affects several functions of body that includes lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins metabolism.
