answer Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase PEPCK
Newborn screening results show a biotinidase deficiency in a 2 day old infant. The deficiency
impairs the infant's ability to reuse and recycle biotin. Due to the enzymatic deficiency, the
activity of what enzyme is likely impaired? - answer Pyruvate carboxylase
If unregulated, which of the following pairs of enzymes would represent a futile cycle? - answer

When cortisol binds to its receptor, which of the following events occur top stimulate
gluconeogenesis? - answer Enhanced transcription of regulatory enzymes
What compound allosterically activates pyruvate carboxylase - answer Acetyl-CoA
When the insulin to glucagon ratio is low, glycogenolysis is activated in the liver. Which of the
following is primary fate of the glucose 6-phosphate released under these conditions? - answer
Dephosphorylated and released into the blood to maintain blood glucose

answer Hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis

sugar can be transferred to other sugars to generate a larger sugar molecule. The reaction is
catalyzed by which of the following enzymes? - answer Transketolase
