Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effects of increasing the concentration of tissue fructose-1,6-bisphosphate on the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycogen metabolism should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Most of the reactions in Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis reactions are taken place in the cytosol. Therefore, unless there is a metabolic regulation, glycolytic degradation of glucose and gluconeogenic synthesis of glucose will occur simultaneously without a benefit to the cell with huge consumption of ATP. This scenario is controlled by a reciprocal control system which inhibits glycolysis when gluconeogenesis is active and vice versa.

Glucose produced by glycogen metabolism is also an energy source for muscle contraction. Regulation of glycogen metabolism is also a reciprocal control of the two-enzyme glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase. Regulation is achieved via both allosteric regulation and covalent modification.

The effects of increasing the concentration of blood glucose on the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycogen metabolism should be explained.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
