Chapter 22, Problem 48P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason for the ability to utilize fats is inhibited by the lack of carbohydrates should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Fatty acid is an aliphatic carboxylic acid chain. It can be either saturated or unsaturated. Natural fatty acids have even number of carbon atoms (28-40), and the chain is unbranched in nature. They are very important in the diet, as they act as fuel for the biochemical reactions inside the body.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The smell of the breath should be determined, if the person is strictly on whale and seal blubber diet.

Do schwann cells produce or act as myelin in the peripheral nervous system? I know that they encase and wrap around axons, but where does the myelin come into play?
The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactatein skeletal muscle cells using NAD/NADH during anaerobic “balanced” fermentation.Answer the following questions about this reaction. (a) Write out the two reductive half reactions and indicate the E ̊' for each half reaction. Write out the full balanced reaction for the pyruvate to lactate rxn and indicate the ∆E ̊' for the reaction. (b) What is the free energy change under standard state conditions for thisreaction? Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
