Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The fate not possible for fatty acid-generated acetyl CoA has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are molecules that are long hydrocarbon chain of
The fatty acids are broken down to provide energy. The breakdown of fatty acids is a three parts process. In the first part, the fatty acid is activated. In the second part, the transportation of fatty acid into the mitochondrial matrix is facilitated by a shuttle mechanism. In the third part, the fatty acid is readily oxidized, cycling through a series of four reactions. In these series of reactions, acyl CoA is degraded to acetyl CoA. This pathway is termed as a β-oxidation pathway. Acetyl CoA, FADH2, and NADH are produced in this reaction.

- 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_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_forwardAmino acid metabolism differs from that of carbohydrates and Fats in that * (a) There is no storage form for amino acids in the body (b) Amino acids cannot be used for energy production (c) Amino acids cannot be converted to acetyl CoA.

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 5 of 16 Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is an important enzyme in fatty acid synthesis.
