Question 7

Question
according to Pasteur effect
Answer
  • glycolysis proceeds in a faster rate in presence of oxygen
  • oxygen decreases the rate of glycolysis
  • glycolysis produces more ATP from a glucose molecule in absence of oxygen
  • oxygen decreases the production of ATP from one glucose molecule

Question 8

Question
the bi-functional enzyme PFK2/fructose2,6-bisphosphatase
Answer
  • controls the level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate ,hence the activity of PFK1

  • is dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase under the effect of insulin
  • all the above

Question 9

Question
which of the following is true about fatty acid oxidation
Answer
  • the active form of fatty acid is fatty acyl coA
  • fatty acid is activated by acyl coA synthetase of the inner mitochondrial membrane
  • with fatty acid activation ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP + inorganic phosphate
  • Fatty acyl coA is used only for energy production

Question 10

Question
deficiency of carnitine acyl transferase may NOT lead to
Answer
  • failure of fatty acid oxidation
  • hypoglycemia
  • ketoacidosis
  • hepatomegaly , seizures and cardiomyopathy leading to infantile death

Question 11

Question
mitochondrial β-oxidation pathway produces propionyl CoA from
Answer
  • fatty acid with odd number of carbons
  • phytanic acid derived from chlorophyll
  • both (A) & (b)
  • neither (A) nor (B)

Question 12

Question
Zellweger's (cerebro-hepato-renal) syndrome is characterizd by accumulation
Answer
  • phytanic acid
  • very long chain polyenoic acid
  • both (A) & (B)
  • neither (A) nor (B)

Question 13

Question
ِAn enzyme is not involved in glycolysis in muscle is
Answer
  • aldolase
  • glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
  • enolase
  • pyruvate kinase
  • bisphosphoglycerate mutase

Question 14

Question
the best description of the difference between glucokinase and hexokinase is
Answer
  • hexokinase is found in liver and kidney , while hexokinase is present in nearly all tissues
  • hexokinase has much higher Km for glucose
  • glucokinase is found only in tissues that are totally dependent on glucose for fuel , such as brain & RBCs
  • glucokinase & hexokinase are zymogens
  • glucokinase but not hexokinase is induced by insulin

Question 15

Question
An abnormal accumulation of galactose 1-p in liver is usually caused by a deficiency
Answer
  • glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
  • glucose 6-phosphatse
  • galactokinase
  • galactose 1-phosphate uridylyl transferase
  • hexokinase

Answer
  • NADP
  • Acetyl CoA
  • Lipoic acid
  • α -ketoglutarate
  • GDP

Question 17

Question
mitochondria in brown fat of human infants increase heat generation .this result from an increased rate of electron transport due to
Answer
  • inhibition of ADP-ATP antiporter
  • inhibition of F1-Fo ATP synthase
  • blockage of NADH reoxidation
  • increased permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane
  • decreased rate of oxygen consumption
