(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of cholesterol feeding on the amount of HMG-CoA reductase mRNA should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule. It is a steroid which is synthesized in all animal cells and is an important component of cell membrane. Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.
(b)
Interpretation:
The purpose isolating actin mRNA must be determined.

(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of cholesterol diet on the HMG CoA reductase protein should be determined.

Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.
(d)
Interpretation:
The reason for surprising results in graph B.

- Biochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you. You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14. After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer. Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine.
