What are the consequences of deficiencies of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzyme? Discuss the normal role of the enzyme, and how reduced activity impacts fatty acid metabolism. What metabolites used for fuel do you expect to be higher in the blood? What metabolites used for fuel do you expect to be much lower in the blood? How do the excess or lack of these metabolites influence the function of the organs that deal with these metabolites?

1. Some Escherichia coli strains express an extra superoxide dismutase enzyme, which protects the cell from oxidative damage. Researchers have hypothesized that the genes encoding this enzyme are part of a bacteriophage genome.

1. What is the explanation for E. coli strains being able to express a bacteriophage gene and use its product to their advantage

2. How would you test the hypothesis that sodC is indeed bacteriophage encoded?

Come up with the best Genus species of bacteria for each case. Given the following description:

Gram (+) cocci arranged in grape-like clusters

Non-spore former

Produced the enzyme catalase

Beta-Hemolytic

Produces the enzyme coagulase

Acid from mannitol

Yellow-gold colony pigment

Novobiocin sensitive

Options are Micrococcus, Planococcus, or Staphyloccus.

Explain the morphology, physiology and virulence factors.

Please answer this question ASAP an explain in detail. I really need it before the night is over.

a) Explain what a catalytic process is and how it is different from the non-catalytic version of the process. Give an example of an enzymatic process other than amylase and describe the substrate(s)/product(s):

b) Describe what the enzyme amylase does and what would happen in the absence of this enzyme:

Gluconeogenesis is generally the reverse of the glycolytic pathway, producing glucose from pyruvate. Some tissues cannot survive without a source of glucose, and this is a way to produce glucose from other food molecules.

(A) 7 reactions in glycolysis are used in the reverse direction in gluconeogenesis. How can this be?

Muscle and liver have different roles in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. For example, in the fight‑or‑flight response, muscle responds to epinephrine by modulating glucose pathways to achieve rapid ATPATP production. In contrast, in conditions where blood glucose levels fall, liver responds to glucagon by producing glucose for export into the bloodstream. Using the metabolic map as a resource, locate the glucose pathways on the map.

Which pathways are stimulated in muscle by epinephrine?

glycolysis

gluconeogenesis

glycogenolysis

glycogen synthesis

Which pathways are stimulated in liver by glucagon?

glycolysis

glycogenolysis

gluconeogenesis

Which liver enzymes are activated by glucagon?

pyruvate kinase

glycogen phosphorylase

glycogen synthase

fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase

phosphofructokinase‑1

Which liver enzymes are inhibited by glucagon?

glycogen synthase

pyruvate kinase

fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase

glucokinase

glycogen phosphorylase

phosphofructokinase‑1
