Solutions

Expert Solution

100. True. In brain tissue glucose-6-p is not converted into glucose; the process is called as gluconeogenesis which is normally present in liver,kidney, intestine and muscle.

99. True. Pyruvate, glycogen and glutamate are the major products of glucose-6-P which is one of the three key metabolic intermediates.

v98. True.The presence of glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver and kidneys but not in muscle.glucose 6-phosphate generated from glycogenolysis and glucogenesis is released from the liver into the circulation for peripheral use. There does not appear to be glucose 6-phosphatase in skeletal muscle; hence, muscle glycogen is not a source of circulating glucose.

97, False. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase by allopurinol prevents the metabolism of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid, which should result in elevated levels of hypoxanthine and decreased production of xanthine and uric acid.

96. False. Measurement of serum uric acid is the most misused test in the diagnosis of gout. The presence of hyperuricemia in the absence of symptoms is not diagnostic of gout. In addition, as many as 15% of patients with symptoms from gout may have normal serum uric acid levels at the time of their attack.

Glycogen is the body’s storage form of glucose. When glycogen is degraded, glucose 1-P is formed. Glucose 1-P can then be isomerized to glucose 6-P. Starting with glucose 1-P and ending with two molecules of pyruvate, what is the net yield of glycolysis in terms of ATP and NADH formed?
Compare the ATP yield of three glucose molecules that enter glycolysis and are converted to pyruvate...
Compare the ATP yield of three glucose molecules that enter glycolysis and are converted to pyruvate with that of three glucose molecules that proceed through the pentose phosphate pathway such that their carbon skeletons (as two F6P and one GAP) reenter glycolysis and are metabolized to pyruvate. Indicate the steps where ATP was used or produced and the overall ATP totals.

Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted into lactate in vertebrate muscle tissue. This conversion allows the muscles to continue carrying out glycolysis because Group of answer choices The decarboxylation of pyruvate to lactate regenerates NAD+, which maintains redox balance. The reduction of pyruvate to lactate regenerates NADH, which maintains redox balance. None of the other choices is correct.
