Dr. Islam's Questions
100

What is the allosteric enyme

PFK-1

100

How are starch and glycogen consumed

Pancreatic enzyme alpha-amylase, which cleaved a-1,4 bonds but not 1,6. The remaining uncleaved are called limit dextrin

100

What are the three enzymes present in gluconeogenesis that are not present in glycolysis

1. pyruvate carboxylase

2. fructose 6-phosphatase

3. glucose 6-phosphatase

100

What is I-cell disease

A lysosomal storage disorder. Missing Mannose 6-phosphate, that marks the molecule for ASN

Genetic.
Defect: N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phophotransferase.

100

What bacteria is gram negative, what color?

Strep, pink

200

What reacts with PFK-2 and what does it make?

Fructose 6-phosphate, and Fructose 2,6 biphosphate

200

Where is maltose located in the body?

Intestinal cells

200

Where do the beginning steps take place?

Mitochondria matrix

200

malignant hyperthermia

occurs in muscles in susceptible individuals, sensitive to certain anesthetics, and no response to calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the calcium channel in an uncontrolled fashion

200

What is the simplest glycolipid?

Cerebroside

300

What is the purpose of TPI, and what aspect of this glycolytic enzyme deficiency makes it unique 

To convert Dihydroxyacetone to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The enzyme deficiency will cause death

300

When glucose concentration is low, what is inhibited and by what

Glucokinase is inhibited by the liver0specific glucokinase regulatory protein.  

300

What is the enzyme needed to allow oxaloacetate leave the mitochondrial matrix, through what channel? 

It is reduced to Malate through malate dehydrogenase, through the malate channel

300

What is Beri Beri Disease

A B1 deficiency, a neurological and cardiovascular disease. EAT BROWN RICE

300

How is a cataract formed, the chemical reaction behind it. 

Galactose-> galactitol (accumulates in the lens)

Due to glucosemia

400

what is substrate-level phosphorylation

Phosphoglycerate kinase catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from 1,3-BPG to ADP. The products are ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate.

400

What does Glut3 do?

They are in all mammalian cells and they allow glucose to enter the cell at a constant rate, they promote basal glucose uptake

400

What step requires the addition of water

Fructose 1,6 phosphate to Fuctose 6-phosphate

400

How do you treat cystic fibrosis

acetylcysteine

400

What activates and inhibits hexokinase

glucose-6-phosphate, activated by ATP

500

What is feedforward stimulation

When the pace of glycolysis increases, fructose 1,6 biphosphate activates the kinase. 

500

What are the majority of bonds in glucose

alpha-1,4, with the occasional 1,6. Cellulose is B-1,4

500

What is oxaloacetate simultaneously decarboxylated and phosphorylated by

PEPCK, phosphoenolpyruvate

500

What becomes essential when you have hurlers disease

T4

What organ controls your BG

Pancreas
