BioChem C785 - WGU - Module 5 - all questions Answered
What vitamin does not travel through the bloodstream in the form of a lipid micelle?
- Vitamin C
Which lipid has a 4-ring structure?
- Sterol
Which of the following situations is MOST likely to increase the rate of beta
oxidation?
- fasting
A patient who is on a no-fat diet is at particular risk of deficiency in:
- Vitamin A
During starvation, triglycerides can help supply some of the body's glucose needs.
Which breakdown product of triglycerides can be used to make glucose?
- glycerol
CH3(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)2COOH
- liquid at the lowest temperature
Describe the steps involved in fatty acid synthesis - Acetyl-CoA is transported to the
cytoplasm
- Biotin transfers a carboxylate group to acetyl-CoA - the malonyl group is transferred
to a carrier protein - malonyl ACP combines with acetyl-CoA, - malonyl-CoA is added
repeatedly to the growing fatty acid
What fatty acid will produce 8 Acetyl CoA molecules after it is completely
metabolized via beta oxidation?
- CH3(CH2)4CH=CH(CH2)4CH=CH(CH2)8COOH
Which set of molecules are produced by the beta oxidation of fatty acids?
- Acetyl CoA, NADH, FADH2
Gastric bypass surgery results in an increase in the production of GLP-1, a peptide that
promotes insulin secretion. This is thought to be associated with the tendency for these
patients' type II diabetes to resolve after the surgery. If a gastric bypass patient has a
mutation in GLP-1 that impairs its function, what is to be expected?
- The patient would have reduced insulin secretion compared to patients with normal
GLP-1, and this reduction results in increased fatty acid oxidation
