A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes comes to the emergency department complaining of thirst, frequent urination, and weakness. She feels “lightheaded” when she stands. Because of nausea and vomiting after a meal in a restaurant the previous day, she stopped eating and taking her insulin. On examination, she is dehydrated and hypotensive. Her breathing is rapid and deep. 1. Which of the following is likely to be lower than normal? a. Urinary urea levels b. Plasma levels of glucagon c. Plasma levels of free fatty acids d. Blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide e. Plasma acetoacetate levels 2. Which of the following will increase after insulin administration? a. Plasma triglyceride levels b. Plasma K+ levels c. Lipoprotein lipase activity d. Adipose tissue lipase activity e. Plasma phosphate levels For each question, please first clearly indicate which option (a, b, c, d or e) is correct and which one is wrong and then explain briefly your reasoning for each answer. For instance, you must write: "a" is a correct answer because .... "b" is a wrong answer because..... "c" is wrong because ..... :d" is wrong because ...... etc.b

Aconitase is an enzyme that displays moonlighting behavior dependent on cytosolic [iron]. When the concentration of iron is low, aconitase undergoes a shift towards mRNA binding activities. Please speculate as to the structural basis for this [iron]-dependent activity switch. What is the role and function of the iron-sulfur cluster in aconitase? What is the physiologic relevance of aconistase’s functional dependence on [iron]?

The COVID-19 virus infects cells of the respiratory system. The virus spreads by moving from one cell to the next. While the virus moves from one cell to the next, it will outside of the cell temporarily and can be taken up by an antigen-presenting cell (APC) for processing and presentation. Explain how these antigens would be presented on the surface of these cells so that the immune system could react against it. What cells would recognise these antigens and why?
