90.LDL is involved in the transport of endogenous cholesterol from tissue to the liver.

89.The synthesis of fatty acids is a reductive process. NADH provides the reducing equivalent for fat production.

88.In the biosynthesis of fatty acid, the acyl group carrier for the biosynthetic reaction is acyl carrier protein.

87.The breakdown of the fatty acid CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH via the β-oxidation pathway would yield three moles acetyl units and one mole propionyl unit.

86.In the oxidation of fatty acids, transportation of activated fatty acids into mitochondria requires the reaction with carnitine.

YOU MUST SEPARATE AND QUANTIFY GLUCOSE, FRUCTOSE, SUCROSE, LACTOSE, MALTOSE, AND TREHALOSE IN SAMPLES OF INFANT FORMULA. YOU DECIDE TO USE CHROMATOGRAPHY. YOUR METHOD MUST BE ABLE TO QUANTIFY THE ANALYTES AT OR ABOVE 100 ng ON COLUMN. YOU HAVE DEVELOPED A METHOD FOR EXTRACTINGFROM THE MATRIX A RELATIVELY CLEAN FRACTION CONTAINING MONO AND DISSACHARIDES. YOU HAVE A WELL EQUIPPED LABORATORY AND MANY ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS MENTIONED DOWN BELOW THAT COULD BE USED TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOAL. THOSE INSTRUMENTS ARE:

1.A GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY

2.A LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPH WITH SEVERAL POSSIBLE DETECTOR OPTIONS:

      a) UV-VIS DIODE ARRAY DETECTOR

      b) REFRACTIVE INDEX DETECTOR

      c) ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR

      d) EVAPORATIVE LIGHT SCATTERING DETECTOR

YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK WITH THE REQUIRED ACCURACY IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.

SELECT EITHER GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY OR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY FOR YOUR METHOD, THEN DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF STATIONARY PHASE, POLAR OR NON-POLAR YOU WOULD USE. NEXT, SELECT AN APPROPRIATE MOBILE PHASE. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, SELECT THE TYPE OF DETECTOR YOU WOULD USE AND  EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE FOR YOUR CHOICES.

1.PUMPS: LOW PRESSURE MIXING OR HIGH PRESSURE MIXING

2.COLUMN STATIONARY PHASE

3.COLUMN TEMPERATURE CONTROL YES OR NO

4.ISOCRATIC OR GRADIENT SEPARATION

5.MOBILE PHASE COMPOSITION

6.SEPARATION CONDITIONS-FLOW RATE, RUN TIME, GRADIENT TIME (IF USED)

7.DETECTOR(S) TO BE USED

8.METHOD FOR ESTIMATING MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND AMOUNT OF EACH ANALYTE
