Summary Introduction

To review:

The metabolic changes that take place during starvation and the purpose of the degradation of muscle tissue during starvation.

Introduction:

The feeding–fasting cycle is used for the self-regulating mechanisms by the body of mammals to obtain nutrients and energy from food. In metabolism, the concentration of substrates plays a significant role.

(a) AH = (b) AH = -84 kJ mol¹ (−20 kcal mol¹), AS = -125 J mol-¹ K-¹ (-30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) (c) AH = +84 kJ mol¹ (+20 kcal mol¯¹), AS = +125 J mol¯¹ K−¹ (+30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) (d) AH = +84 kJ mol-1 (+20 kcal mol-¹), AS = -125 J mol¯¹ K-¹ (-30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) -84 kJ mol¹ (-20 kcal mol¹), AS = +125 J mol¯¹ K-¹ (+30 cal mol-¹ K-¹)
What chemical interactions are primarily responsible for the fact that oil and water do not mix easily? ionic interactions covalent bonds hydrogen bonding Ohydrophobic effect
The carbon-nitrogen peptide bond is rigid, but rotation can take place about the bond between the nitrogen and α-carbon atoms and the bond between the α-carbon and the carbonyl carbon atom. These bond angles define the conformation of the peptide chain. Consider the Ramachandran plot shown to answer both questions. (degrees) 180 120 60 60 0 Which observation most likely describes part of an observed a helix? p=-59 degrees; = +150 degrees; many Ser residues cp-140 degrees; w = +130 degrees; many Val residues op-57 degrees; w = -47 degrees; many Pro residues op-60 degrees; y = -47 degrees; many Ala residues p = +60 degrees; y = +40 degrees; many Gly residues -60 -120 -180 -180 0 ➜ (degrees) 180
