Question

107. The breakdown of the fatty acid CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH via the β-oxidation pathway would:yield four moles acetyl units only. True/False?

106.The breakdown of the fatty acid CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH via the β-oxidation pathway would:not occur unless the coenzyme A derivative was formed first.True/False?

105.Considering all forms of life, urea, ammonia and uric acid are major excretory forms of the a-amino groups of amino acids.True/False?

104.The removal of a-amino groups from amino acids for conversion to urea in animals may occur by transamination or oxidative deamination.True/False?

103.Protein is a major source of precursors for glucose synthesis during starvation.True/False?

102.Protein synthesis is stimulated in the muscle of untreated diabetic patients.True/False?

101.Insulin is synthesized and secreted by the a-cells of the pancreas.True/False?

Answer 1

101). False- as insulin is synthesised in beta cell of pancreas by a particular cell called islets of langerhans...

​​​​​​104). Deamination. It is a process occurring in the liver during the metabolism of amino acids. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia-NH3 whose toxic activity is canceled by conversion into urea which is eventually excreted.

105). True...

106) true Beta oxidation, in the mitochondrial matrix, then cuts the long carbon chains of the fatty acids (in the form of acyl-CoA molecules) into a series of two-carbon (acetate) units, which, combined with co-enzyme A, form molecules of acetyl CoA, which condense with oxaloacetate to form citrate ...

107). True

Note dear student i have asked to solve only one mc due to time constarint but i i ha solved quite few.. please repost other question separately...
