BCH210 RUNBACK EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+ Lactate dehydrogenase - Answer-Pyruvate + NADH --> lactate + NAD+ Regenerates NAD+ for glycolysis when O2 is unavailable; in red blood cells, lactate is always produced since no mitochondria Cori cycle - Answer-1. Lactate is produced in the bloodstream by red blood cells 2. Liver picks up lactate; lactate dehydrogenase converts it back into pyruvate 3. Pyruvate is converted into oxaloacetate, where it either enters the CAC or GNG...

Monosaccharides - ANSWER-Soluble in water due to OH groups (always have either an aldehyde or ketone) Formula: (CH2O)n, where n is at least 3 Carbohydrate numbering - ANSWER-Always starts at the carbonyl; aldehyde is C1, ketone is C2 L vs. D isomers - ANSWER-Named based on left (l) vs. right (d) orientation of OH group Capital lettering given to highest-number chiral carbon; D is physiologically relevant Number of stereoisomers - ANSWER-2^x, where x is the number of chiral carbons x = tot...
