Question 1
Question
What of the next statements is not true about pepsinogen?
Answer
-
Pepsinogen is a zymogen
-
The active form of pepsinogen is called pepsin
-
Pepsinogen is transformed into pepsin in a basic medium
-
Pepsin breaks the peptide bonds of proteins, so makes the proteins smaller
-
Pepsin is not the only proenzyme present in the intestine
Question 2
Question
For example, if we eat a protein from a vegetable, it will be [blank_start]denatured[blank_end] due to the low pH, and then [blank_start]pepsin[blank_end] will act and will divide it in small fragments as dipeptides and peptides, that will release [blank_start]amino acids[blank_end], which are going to be captured by the [blank_start]enterocytes[blank_end], and will be secreted into [blank_start]blood[blank_end].
Answer
-
denatured
-
pepsin
-
amino acids
-
enterocytes
-
blood
Question 3
Question
The AA digested can be used for the synthesis of non-proteic AA, synthesis of nitrogenous bases, synthesis of the heme group, synthesis of some neurotransmitters and synthesis of hormones and this is called the protein feedback
Question 4
Question
During desamination we will get one α-ketoacid and one amino acid.
Question 5
Question
Pyruvate and oxaloacetate are α-ketoacids
Question 6
Question
If glutamic acid is digested, what will probably happen?
Answer
-
It will react with pyruvate and Alanine will be obtained
-
It will react with oxaloacetate and Aspartic acid will be obtained
-
It will react with α-ketoglutamine and Proline will be obtained
-
It will suffer a desamination and will form α-ketoglutarate
-
It will suffer a desamination and will form one pyruvate
Question 7
Question

Answer
-
The energy charge is low or, what is the same, with high levels of ADP
-
The energy charge is low or, what is the same, with high levels of ATP
-
The energy charge is high or, what is the same, with high levels of ADP
-
The energy charge is high or, what is the same, with high levels of ATP
-
Glutamate dehydrogenase is always active
Question 8
Question
Urea is produced and eliminated in liver
Question 9
Question
Which of these statements is true?
Answer
-
In the Glucose-Alanine cycle, one amino acid is transferred to one molecule of pyruvate, forming Alanine
-
In the Glucose-Alanine cycle, one ammonium ion is transferred to one molecule of oxaloacetate, forming Alanine
-
In the Glutamate-Glutamine cycle, one amino group is transported to one molecule of glutamic acid, forming Glutamate
-
In the Glutamate-Glutamine cycle, one amino group is transported to one molecule of glutamic acid, forming Glutamine
-
Any of these is true
Question 10
Question
Urea cycle:
1.) One ammonium ion, bicarbonate (HCO3), and 2 molecules of [blank_start]ATP[blank_end] condense forming [blank_start]carbamoyl phosphate[blank_end].
2.) This molecule condense with [blank_start]ornithine[blank_end] forming citrulline, and citrulline will be transferred to [blank_start]cytosol[blank_end].
3.) There the citrulline condense with [blank_start]aspartic[blank_end] acid, what will form argininosuccinate.
4.) These molecule will be fragmented releasing arginine and [blank_start]fumarate[blank_end].
5.) Arginine will be fragmented again forming urea and [blank_start]ornithine[blank_end], that will be transferred back to mitochondria.
Answer
-
ATP
-
carbamoyl phosphate
-
ornithine
-
cytosol
-
fumarate
-
ornithine
-
aspartic
