84.The formation of glucose 6-phosphate renders the entry of glucose into most cells almost irreversible (i.e. staying intracellular).True/False?

83.Glucagon targets primarily on liver to increase glycogen degradation.True/False?

82.The increase of glycogenolysis in muscle produced by epinephrine may be attributed to the conversion of phosphorylase b to phosphorylase a.True/False?

81.Measurement of blood ammonia level is a sensitive test of kidney function.True/False?

80.During starvation when gluconeogenesis increases to maintain the levels of blood glucose, the metabolism of glutamate to glucose-6-phosphate is enhanced.True/False?

79.AMP is synthesized in a two-step reaction sequence involving inosinic acid, ATP and glutamine. True/False?

Expert Solution

Ans 84-) The statement is True
Glucose is phosphorylated in order to prevent the diffusion and by the phosphorylation process, phosphate group which is generally charged is added so that G-6-P cannot cross the membrane easily.

Ans 83-) The statement is True
Function of Glucagon is to maintain the level of blood glucose in the body.
Thus, glucagon will triger the process of glycogenolysis which is the conversion of glycogen which is stored in the liver into the glucose.

Ans 82-) The statement is True
As phosphorylase b which is inactive gets converted to phosphorylase a

Ans 81-) The statement is True
Measurement of higher level of ammonia in the blood and the ammonia level rises due to failure of kidney or diseases caused by the liver.

Ans 80-) The statement is True
As during the starvation, the amino acid is utilised.

Ans 79-) The statement is False
Glutamine is not used in two step reaction of AMP synthesis.

1.Glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). It bypasses the irreversible glycolytic reaction of glucokinase. Select the best answer that explains why G6Pase does not catalyze the reverse reaction of glucokinase. A. G6Pase catalyzes an endergonic reaction B. G6Pase hydrolyzes G6P C. G6Pase requires energy from ATP to dephosphorylate G6P D. G6Pase requires only one substrate 5. Insulin and glucagon oppositely control glucose metabolism in the liver. The former is elevated in response to a carbohydrate meal...

The hydrolysis of glucose-6- phosphate to give glucose plus phosphate has a ∆G o = - 3.3 kcal/mol. In the liver glucose concentrations are extremely high during the fed state because of the proximity of the liver to the portal vein, and thus hydrolysis should be unfavorable. What is ∆G for this hydrolysis reaction at 0.5 M glucose, 0.01 M phosphate and 10 -6 M for glucose-6- phosphate? (Assume 2.303RT = 1360 cal/mol.) A. -3460 cal/mol B. -1730 cal/mol C....
