Q

What are the stages in energy extraction from foodstuffs?

A
  1. macromolecules broken down to monomers
  2. Oxidation of monomers to Acetyl CoA with limited ATP formation
  3. Complete Aerobic Oxidation of acetyle CoA to CO2 and H2O with the formation of ATP in the mitochondria

Q

How does the glucose oxidase assay work?

A
  • HIGHLY specific for Glucose
  • forms gluconic acid and H2O2
  • H2O2 reacts with an organic chromagen to from a colored product

Q

What is the difference between moving in amino acids and di and tripeptides?

A

both use sodium cotransport, however Di and Tri peptides use an H+ dependent contransport mechanism

Q

What does emulsification do to fats and how does this facilitate their entry into the apical surface of epithelial cells?

A
  • Emulsification by bile salts causes monoglyceride formation from fatty acids.

Q

T or F: females have slower GI transit that is subject to hormonal influences.

A

True

17
Q

T or F: males have a more acidic stomach than females.

A

True

18
Q

What is the importance of drug ionization and ion trapping?

A
  • Unionized is needed to cross biological membranes
  • ionized is needed to be soluble inside the aqueous cytosol
  • ion trapping happens when drug is ionized before crossing the membrane such as in steroid injections into inflammed areas
19
Q

What are ABC transports and what are some examples of these?

A

ABC transporters are a protective mechanism that pumps things out that it senses may be potentially toxic.

20
Q

T or F: referring to maltase activity may in fact be talking about the activity of multiple enzymes

A

True

21
Q

Name 4 tests that may be used to determine if a patient has abnormal digestion of sugars.

A

Serum/Urine amylase - tests for obstructions in pancreatic ducts etc. (mumps or pancreatitis)

22
Q

What are precose/acarbose tablets used for?

A

treat diabetes by inhibiting the alpha-glucosidase activity of the small intestine

23
Q

In what part of the small intestine are sugars broken down into Tri and oligiosaccharides, maltose and isomaltose, what enzyme is responsible for this activity?

A

Happens in the small intestine by pancreatic alpha amylase which is active in a slightly more basic environment

24
Q

Where are sugars broken down into alpha dextrins and what does this?

A

Salivary amylase in the mouth

25
Q

What is the activity of proteins that exchange information?

A

They relay information via phosphorylation

26
Q

How is the majority of energy stored in humans?

A
  1. stored via triacylglycerol (TAG) in adipose tissue
  2. Lots of energy storage in muscle proteins (not typically used though)
  3. Glycogen in muscle and liver make up moderate amounts of energy stores
  4. Glucose in body fluids makes up a tiny amount
27
Q

When does proteolysis occur in muscles?

A

Basal State mostly

  • Doesn’t really occur in fed state
  • Definitely doesn’t occur in starved state
28
Q

How is the activity of RTKs reversed?

A

Phosphatases

29
Q

What does phosphorylation of RTKs outside of the kinase domain allow for?

A

Binding sites for SH2 domains

30
Q

Why would GLUT 4 be dependent on SNARE proteins?

A

because the GLUT 4 is contained in vesicles that are released to bind to the membrane by insulin

31
Q

Where is GLUT 5 found?

A

Small intestine epithelium
