Concept introduction:
Ketone bodies are water soluble molecules which are synthesized from acetyl CoA through the process of ketogenesis. Ketogenesis occurs in the mitochondria of the liver cells. Ketone bodies are generally produced when the amount of acetyl CoA in the body is much larger than the amount of oxaloacetate. This happens due to the carbohydrate-lipid imbalance in the body caused by much smaller intake of food rich in carbohydrates, or inefficient processing of glucose by the body.

- Question 28 CHOH CHOH A CHOH CHOH 1 CH2 CHOH OH OH OH CH 3 CHOH OH OH он CH он он B 2 OH CH Which lettered subunit is the reducing end? O A В There is more than one reducing end on this sugar structurearrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning Incorrect Answer Choose all the true statements about oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain are called coupled reactions. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation is an aerobic process. The oxidation of NADH provides enough energy to produce two ATP molecules. The oxidation of FADH, provides enough energy to produce two ATP molecules. Macmillan Learning Feedback Sorry, that's incorrect. There are three correct answers. Determine the product of oxidative phosphorylation. Consider where this process gets the energy needed to run this reaction.arrow_forwardWhat are the typical fates for fatty acids in the liver (select all that apply)? O They are oxidized and converted into ketone bodies. O They are oxidized to yield acetyl-CoA and NADPH. O They are used to synthesize triacylglycerol. O They are oxidized and converted into glucose. O They are oxidized and used in the synthesis of cholesterol.arrow_forward

- 15.7) Determine whether each of the following changes is an oxidation or reduction. a) gain of electrons reduction b) loss of electrons oxidation c) Fe²+ to Fe³+ oxidation d) NADH to NAD+ oxidation lost bond to hydrogen atom e) FAD to FADH₂ reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom f) CH4 to CO₂ oxidation gained bonds to oxygen atoms and lost bonds to hydrogen atoms g) NAD+ to NADH reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom EXPLANATION: A useful mnemonic to differentiate oxidation and reduction is the term "OILRIG" (Oxidation is the Loss of electrons; Reduction is the Gain of electrons). It is possible to identify redox reactions for inorganic compounds by inspecting the chemical equation and determining if electrons are transferred from one species to another. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was increased (toward positive) in the conversion of reactants to products, an oxidation occurred. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was decreased (toward negative) in the…arrow_forwardLevel the appropriate step correctly from the given optionsarrow_forwardplease answer fast i give upvotearrow_forward
