Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Glycogen phosphorylase is one of the phosphorylase enzymes.
(b)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Phosphorolysis is analogous to hydrolysis.
(c)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Transferases are enzymes that catalyzes the transfer of certain
(d)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
a-1,6-glucosidase is a glycogen debranching enzyme which involves in glycogen catabolism.
(e)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
The free glucose molecule released from the cleavage of glucosyl residue from glycogen after glycogen phosphorylase activity, has a phosphate group on C-1. This glucose-1-phosphate is not a useful metabolite. So it should be converted to glucose-6-phosphate.
(f)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Phosphorylase kinase is a serine/threonine specific protein kinase.
(g)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Protein kinase A perform several functions like regulation of glycogen, sugar and lipid
(h)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Calmodulin is a calcium binding protein which is found in all eukaryotic cells. Ca2+ is required for the activation of calmodulin.
(i)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Epinephrine is a hormone and also known as adrenaline. It is secreted by adrenal glands and used as a medication for various illnesses.
(j)
Interpretation:
Each item should be matched with its description.
Concept introduction:
Glucagon is secreted in alpha cells in pancreas. It is a peptide hormone. It is considered as the major catabolic hormone in human body.
