Chapter 24, Problem 24.55AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diets that severely restrict carbohydrate intake often result in ketosis for the dieter. The reason behind this should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 empirical ratio.

The general empirical formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O. Carbohydrates provide our cells with fuel to perform all cellular activities.

Ketosis is a disorder of excessive production of ketone bodies.

A keto diet is where the ketones are produced in the liver and utilized as energy. Typically in a ketogenic diet meal plan, the intake of carbohydrates is reduced.

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)?
