(a)
To determine: The physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle and in liver tissue.
Introduction:
Glucose is a monosaccharide that acts a fuel or energy source for the body. It enters a cell and waste product such as carbon dioxide leaves the cell. It is maintained at the concentration of 5mM in the blood.
(b)
To determine: The reason that the Vmax of the muscle enzyme need to be greater than that of the liver enzyme.
Introduction:
Glucose is a monosaccharide which is absorbed from the digestive tract. It is the energy source for the body. The concentration of glucose present in the blood of humans is maintained at 5mM. Km also known as concentration of substrate permits the catalyst to attain half Vmax, while Vmax is the maximum

Clearly label the splitting (coupling) pattern (singlet, doublet etc) for each set of equivalent protons. For each signal, clearly label the integration value or the number of protons represented by the signal. Brarrow_forwardPlease help with this Mass Spectrometry Question.

The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.arrow_forwardBackground Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…arrow_forward3. Dry air is inhaled at a rate of 10 liter/min through a trachea with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 125 mm. The inner surface of the trachea is at a normal body temperature of 37°C and may be assumed to be saturated with water. a. Assuming steady, fully developed flow in the trachea, estimate the mass transfer convection coefficient. b. Estimate the daily water loss (liter/day) associated with evaporation in the trachea.arrow_forward
