2 When blood glucose is below 5mM which enzyme is most likel
2)
When blood glucose is below 5mM, which enzyme is most likely to convert it to glucose 6-phosphate?
Hexokinase I
Glucokinase
Hexokinase IV
All of the above
More than one of these choices
3)
Which of the following controls the total activity of an enzyme?
All of the choices listed
Ubiquitination
Phosphorylation/Dephosphorylation
mRNA translation on Ribosomes
Transcription of a specific gene
6)
Reactions far from equilibrium are highly regulated in metabolic pathways because:
The net flux through these steps is easily reversed
These reactions are highly exergonic
The rate differences between the forward and reverse steps are often small
These reactions occur most frequently in the cell
Enzymes that catalyze reactions far from equilibrium are more easily phosphorylated
| a. | Hexokinase I | |
| b. | Glucokinase | |
| c. | Hexokinase IV | |
| d. | All of the above | |
| e. | More than one of these choices |
Solution
2.. option D
All the above.
3. phosphorylation and dephosphorylation controls activity of enzymes .eg . kinases.
option C.
6. Option A
The net flux through these reactions can be reversed.
ie. the amount of substrates if decreased can slow down the reaction. If increases then rate of reaction is increased.
