Pregunta
The [blank_start]Folate[blank_end] Cycle is important for regulating the conversion of the [blank_start]U[blank_end] base of RNA to the [blank_start]T[blank_end] base of DNA. Disruption of this can cause nuclear maturation leading to macrocytic anaemia.

Pregunta 14
Pregunta
The [blank_start]Methionine[blank_end] Cycle (regulated by Vitamin [blank_start]B12[blank_end]) is important for the production of a donor molecule for DNA methylation, so that certain genes can be 'silenced'. Disruption of this cycle can cause defective nuclear maturation and thus macrocytic anaemia.
Respuesta
-
Methionine
-
Folate
-
Cobalamin
-
B12
-
B9
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
The Methionine Cycle regards the conversion of [blank_start]homocysteine[blank_end] to methionine via Vitamin B12 in order to produce a donor molecule for DNA strand methylation
Respuesta
-
homocysteine
Pregunta 16
Pregunta

Respuesta
-
R
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
B12 Absorption System:
Which protein is then released by stomach cells to bind to B12?
[blank_start]Intrinsic Factor[blank_end]
Respuesta
-
Intrinsic Factor
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
B12 Absorption System:
Which type of cells release intrinsic factor from the stomach?
The gastric [blank_start]parietal[blank_end] cells
Respuesta
-
parietal
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
B12 Absorption System:
B12 dissociates from R-binding protein and binds to Intrinsic Factor, before moving as this complex to the [blank_start]distal[blank_end] [blank_start]ileum[blank_end] where it dissociates from Intrinsic Factor and is absorbed via specific receptors.
Respuesta
-
distal
-
proximal
-
ileum
-
duodenum
-
jejunum
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
B12 Absorption System:
The receptors which absorb Vitamin B12 in the distal ileum after it has dissociated from Intrinsic Factor are called [blank_start]Cubulin[blank_end] Receptors
Respuesta
-
Cubulin
