Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The total number of acetyl CoA molecules produced when a C18 fatty acid is completely processed through the β-oxidation pathway has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The β-oxidation is a catabolic process occurring in the body through which, fatty acid molecules are broken down in the mitochondria of the cells to generate energy. The process involves breaking down long fatty acid chains that have been converted to acyl CoAchains into smaller acyl CoAfatty chains. The reaction produces acetyl CoA, FADH2and NADH. These three molecules later enter the Krebs cycle where they are used to produce ATP molecules.

- The complete hydrolysis of a protein yields what as products? a. amino acids b. dipeptides c. monosaccharides d. glucose molecules e. no correct response givenarrow_forwardQuestion 15 Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) or von Gierke's disease, is the most common of the glycogen storage diseases. This genetic disease results from deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase. The metabolic outcomes of GSD I are likely to include: O Low blood glucose, increased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, decreased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, increased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, decreased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys High blood glucose, decreased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, increased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, increased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, decreased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneysarrow_forwardIdentify the isotopes that would be found in each metabolite when [2-¹4C, ¹5N]glutamate undergoes oxidative degradation in the liver of a rat. urea succinate arginine citrulline ornithine aspartate 000000 Answer Bank 15 N 14C I COO- H-15N+- -14℃ H H _________ CH₂ COO- Labeled glutamatearrow_forward
- C.14. What is the correlation between ketone levels with insulin value in a diabetic patient?arrow_forward15.7) 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_forwardQUESTION 6 What Citric Acid Cycle intermediate is derived from the following amino acid?
