Question 6

acronym for fructose and galactose metabolism

Answer 6

Both pathways are frut/galactose–(1)fructo/glactokinase–> fructo/galactose1P–(2)FAB GUT–>glycolysis.

deficencies in (1) enzymes are essential fructosuria, and glactokinase deficiency.

deficincies in (2) enzymes are fructose intolerance and classic galactosemia

Fructose is to Aldolase B as Galactose is to UridylTransferase (FAB GUT).
