  2. 21.Glucose uptake into tissues following a carbohydrate meal is facilitated by: A. an increased number of GLUT-2 transporters on the muscle cell surface B. a loss of GLUT-4 transporters from the muscle Golgi apparatus C. insulin-stimulation of glucose uptake into the liver D. an increase in GLUT-1 expression in brain cells E. rapid trapping of glucose in muscle cells by glucokinase F T F F F

  3. 22. Which of the following properties is NOT a feature of a typical rate limiting enzyme and/or flux generating step? A. The step is irreversible B. The concentration of the substrate is very much greater than the Km of the enzyme C. The enzyme operates under Vmax conditions D. The activity of the enzyme can be regulated by changes in gene expression E. The enzyme is regulated by the concentration of substrate alone Is Is Is Is NO

  4. 23. As a check on the scanning procedure enter an answer of A to question 23 on the answer sheet

  5. 24. Which statement regarding the conversion of glucose to glycogen in muscle is CORRECT? A. Glycogenesis is stimulated by phosphorylation of glycogen synthase • NADPH is required for the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to glycogen C. Insulin directly stimulates phosphofructokinase to provide ATP for glycogenesis D. The consumption of ATP during glycogenesis results in an increased flux through glycolysis E. A new molecule of glycogenin is required each time a branch point is made in the growing glycogen chain F F F T F

  6. 25. Which statement regarding the disposal of glucose by liver and muscle is INCORRECT? A. Insulin is essential for glycogen synthesis in muscle, but not liver B. The concentration of glucose 6-phosphate can rise high enough in liver to stimulate glycogen synthase, but this does not happen in muscle C. A build up of glucose 6-phosphate inhibits further glucose trapping in muscle, but not liver D. In liver, but not muscle, glucose is only made into glucose 6-phosphate if it is going to be made into glycogen E. The intracellular [glucose] is always equal to blood [glucose] in liver cells, but not muscle cells T T T F T

  7. 26. Which of the following changes DOES NOT occur during lipogenesis (the conversion of glucose to fatty acids)? A. The polymerization of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) increases B. The production of malonyl CoA increases C. The cleavage of citrate in the cytoplasm decreases D. The consumption of NADPH increases E. The consumption of ATP increases Y Y N Y Y

  8. 27. If you added 14C malonyl CoA, labelled in the carboxylic acid carbon (see diagram below), to cells undergoing fatty acid synthesis to palmitate (C16) where would you expect to recover the label? -OO14C-CH2-CO-S-CoA malonyl CoA A. On the odd numbered carbons of palmitate B. None of the carbon atoms in palmitate C. On the carboxyl carbon (carbon 1) of palmitate D. On the even numbered carbons of palmitate E. On the omega-carbon (carbon 16) of palmitate !!!

  9. Use the following information to answer Questions 28-29 The following enzymes (A-E) are all involved in the synthesis of fatty acids from glucose: A. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase B. ATP citrate lyase C. Acetyl CoA carboxylase D. Pyruvate dehydrogenase E. Phosphofructokinase First step of PPP. NADPH production. Up when NADP low. Splitting citrate in cytoplastm to give cytosolic acetyl CoA Making malonyl CoA Making acetyl CoA. Irreversible Glucose oxidation. Rate limiting step of glycolysis

  10. Which enzyme (A-E) is DIRECTLY regulated by the availability of NADP+? 29. Which enzyme (A-E) catalyses the step after which the products cannot be reconverted back into glucose? A D

  11. 30. During the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl CoA, which type of reaction DOES NOT happen? A. Hydration of a double bonded carbon B. Reduction of a ketone (C=O) to an alcohol (C-OH) C. Carboxylation D. Decarboxylation E. Reduction of a double bonded carbon (-CH=CH-) N Y Y Y Y Carboxylate AcCoA to malonlyl CoA. Lose CO2 on condensation step. Start with –C=O, reduce to –CH-OH, dehydrate to –C=C-, reduce to –CH2-CH2-.
