When gluconeogenesis is activated during fasting in liver,
glycolysis slows. How does this happen?
a. pyruvate kinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase are both inhibited
by phosphorylation in response to a decreased insulin/glucagon
ratio
b. PFK-2 is phosphorylated
c. acetyl CoA allosterically inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase
d. acetyl CoA allosterically activates pyruvate carboxylase
e. all of the above
1) Compare the fate of Pyruvate in aerobic and anaerobic cell
respiration
2) Explain how much ATP is produced in oxidative phosphorylation
and where in the pathway it comes from
What was the business environment of enron during the late 1990s
and early 2000s? And, how did this environment incentive the
numerous frauds that happened during this period?
Question 2 During the late 70s and early 80s, the U.S. economy
faced an inflationary period. The chairman of the Fed at that time,
Paul Vocker, pursued a monetary policy to reduce inflation in the
long run. The principal method used by the Federal Reserve to
change the money supply is through open market operations.
(a) Which policy would accomplish the Fed's goal to reduce
inflation (buy or sell bonds) in the long run?
(b) Use the Quantity Theory and...
Could have (or should have) America turned to Socialism during
the late 19th and early 20th century? We are still debating the
role of government in the economy today and the utility of
socialism and capitalism.
Explain how the body and brain meet their energy requirements
during times of fasting and starvation. Specifically how do the
products of gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycolysis,
ketogenesis, and fatty acids meet these needs?
During vigorous exercise, how is skeletal muscle pyruvate
dehydrogenase regulated to increase its level of activity?
In your response include metabolites that affect PDH kinase and
therefore the activity of PDH.
