Discuss the physiological events occurring relative to fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism when carbohydrate is plentiful and energy levels are high.
7.Discuss the physiological events occurring relative to fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism when carbohydrate is scarce.
8.Describe the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in terms of hormonal regulation. In your discussion, include the cell-signaling pathway(s) involved (including any secondary messengers that are involved).
While the chemistry of fatty acid synthesis and breakdown are
similar, there are some important differences in the two pathways.
Why is NADPH vs. NADH used for fatty acid biosynthesis, why is NADH
vs. NADPH generated during fatty acid breakdown? (Don’t overthink
this, the two co-enzymes have similar redox properties). Why are
the -oxidation reactions found in the mitochondria whereas the
fatty acid synthase reactions take place in the cytosol? Why is
carboxylation of Acetyl CoA necessary for fatty
acidbiosynthesis?
1- Fatty acyl CoA synthetase catalyses the 2-step fatty
acid activation prior to fatty acid synthesis.
True

2- Individuals with defects in ammonia clearance tend to
suffer neurological problems due to influx of calcium ions into the
brain.
True
False
3-Maple syrup disease is largely cause by a defect in
the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids such as
isoleucine.
True
False
4- Uridylylation of PII stimulates the formation of
glutamine from glutamate.
True
False
