Module 3

Question 1

single protein that possesses 2 catalytic activities

Answer 1

Biofunctional Enzyme

Question 2

Metabolic pathway in which lactate produced by glycolysis in muscles is transported via the bloodstream to the liver, where it is used for gluconeogenesis. The glucose that is generated is returned to the muscle.

Answer 2

Cori Cycle

Question 3

The synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors

Answer 3

Gluconeogenesis

Question 4

An allosteric activator which is required to be bound to an enzyme for it to have catalytic activity

Answer 4

Obligate Allosteric Activator

Question 5

A situation where an allosteric molecule inhibits one pathway and activates the opposing pathway, such as that which occurs with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis

Answer 5

Reciprocal Regulation
