(a)
Interpretation:
Based on the information given in section 23.7, the expectation as how would the common metabolite galactose cross the cell membrane has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Simple diffusion:
The moment of molecules move down the concentration gradient is known as simple diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion:
The moment of molecules against the (move up) the concentration gradient and changes the shape of the membrane is known as facilitated diffusion.
(b)
Interpretation:
Based on the information given in section 23.7, the expectation as how would the common metabolite

Concept Introduction:
Active transport:
The transport of ions in the cell membrane which does need energy which is carried out by certain integral membrane proteins, because the substances move against the normal flow of concentration gradients

- Although the first two carbons of fructose and glucose are identical in structure to DHAP and GADP (from glycolysis), DHAP and GADP equilibriate on their in solution to favor the ketone over the aldehyde, while fructose and glucose do not. Why? a)The larger size of the molecule sterically hinders the isomerization b)The larger sugars have more OH groups which hydrogen bond and disrupt isomerization c)The larger sugars cyclize, and there is no carbonyl to isomerize in the cyclic form d)The larger sugars cyclize, and in the cyclic form the hydrogen bonding is very strong e)The larger sugars are less soluble in water than the smaller sugarsarrow_forwardSome amino acids are synthesized by replacing the keto group (CO) of an organic acid known as an α-keto acid with an amino group (CNH+3). Identify the amino acids that can be produced this way from the following α-keto acids:arrow_forwardWhat charged groups are present in glutamate at a pH = 7? OA) 1 × NH3 + B) 1 × COO™ O C) 1 × NH3* and 1 × COO- D) 2 × NH3 and 1 × COO E) 1× NH3 and 2 × COO- OF) Nonearrow_forward
- Name the α-ketoacid that is formed by the transamination of each of the following amino acids: (a) Alanine (d) Leucine (b) Aspartate (e) Phenylalanine (c) Glutamate (f) Tyrosinearrow_forwarda) This molecule is produced when what amino acid is transaminated? b) What are the one- and three-letter abbreviations for this amino acid?arrow_forwarda) This molecule is produced when what amino acid is transaminated? b) What are the one- and three-letter abbreviations for this amino acid?arrow_forward
- Refer to the structure of cholesterol: a) Is the molecule amphipathic? b) Use the structure to support your answer in (a). HOarrow_forward1) Please list all glycosidic linkages between each monosaccharide units. For example, α(1→4)2) Please discuss whether these oligo/polysaccharides would be reducing or non-reducing sugar. Remember to state your reasoning in complete sentence.arrow_forwardEthylene glycol (HO−CH2−CH2−OH) is a major component of antifreeze. In the body, it is first converted to HOOC−CHO (oxoethanoic acid) and then to HOOC−COOH (oxalic acid), which is toxic. What class of enzyme catalyzes both of the reactions of ethylene glycol? The treatment for the ingestion of ethylene glycol is an intravenous solution of ethanol. How might this help prevent toxic levels of oxalic acid in the body?arrow_forward
- Ethylene glycol (HO—CH2—CH2—OH) is frequently used as antifreeze in automobile engines. Every year children and pets are poisoned because they tasted this sweet-tasting material. Ethylene glycol is metabolized in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase. Suggest a possible medical treatment for ethylene glycol intoxication.arrow_forwardIdentify the following: a. An oxidative process that releases energy b. Cellular localization of the electron transport chain during cellular respiration. c. The number of double bonds present in the metabolic precursor of all prostaglandins.arrow_forwardBriefly describe the structural differences for each pair listed: A) Glycogen and Cellulose B) Lactose and Sucrosearrow_forward
