all the above
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 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependant protein kinase under the effect of glucagon and epinephrine
-
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

Question 12
Question
Zellweger's (cerebro-hepato-renal) syndrome is characterizd by accumulation
Question 13
Question
ِAn enzyme is not involved in glycolysis in muscle is
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

Answer
-
inhibition of ADP-ATP antiporter
-
inhibition of F1-Fo ATP synthase
-
blockage of NADH reoxidation

Question 22
Question
the regulation of glycogenolysis in muscle differ from that in the liver
Answer
-
muscles lack receptors of glucagon
