Some of the enzymes, which are associated in converting fats into carbohydrates, are present in

(a) microsomes

(b) glyoxysomes

(c) liposomes

(d) golgi bodies.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans-(b) glyoxysomes.

Explanation-

After the germination, the seeds containing oil metabolise the stored triglycerols by coverting lipids into sucrose. Plants being unable to transport fats from the endosperm to roots and shoots of germinating seedlings, so they need to convert stored lipid to a more mobile form generally sucrose. The entire process involves several steps that are located in several cellular compartments namely oleosomes, glyoxysomes, mitochondria and cytosol.

This week we discuss Fats, Carbohydrates and Protein. There are several diets that are associated with these three macromolecules. There are two diets in particular that this week’s discussion will focus: The Mediterranean Diet and The Protein Diet. Share in this discussion what you believe to be the essence of the two diets and which diet you feel would add greater benefit to you.

What are TWO reasons that fats are generally more energy-dense than carbohydrates? Fats are less hydrated than carbohydrates. Fats are more hydrated than carbohydrates. Carbon in fats is generally more reduced than carbon in carbohydrates. Carbon in fats is generally more oxidized than carbon in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are stored in special membrane-bound compartments that take up more space.

Biological compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are thermodynamically unstable in the presence of O2, since, upon combustion, they will undergo exothermic reactions with O2 to form CO2, H2O and other simple and stable compounds. On the other hand, aerobic life forms require O2 for generating energy, via oxidation reactions (respiration), needed for myriad metabolic activities. Explain how the special electronic structure of O2 allowed aerobic life on the planet to evolve in the presence of an oxidizing atmosphere,...
