Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct pair of keto acid intermediates in lipogenesis and the citric acid cycle respectively has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lipogenesis is the process employed for the synthesis of fatty acid. The starting precursor for the synthesis is acetyl CoA. The enzyme employed for the process is fatty acid synthase. It is a multienzyme complex that ties the reaction responsible for the synthesis of fatty acid. This process is the reverse of the degradation of fatty acid.
The citric acid cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and CoA-SH. Carbon dioxide produced is exhaled out in the breathing process.
An acid containing both carbonyl and carboxyl

- Question 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_forwardIn the degradation of heme, the iron atom present is released and then a. eliminated from the body in the urine b. captured by the iron-storage protein ferritin c. captured by the B vitamin niacin d. no correct responsearrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forward
