Crib death of infants when fasting (i.e., when sleeping and not eating – therefore a low blood glucose condition) is also known as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS was often blamed on lack of proper care by the parents of the child. It is now known that a significant number of SIDS cases are caused by a genetic defect in the gene that codes for fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in fatty acid β-oxidation (see question 34 for this reaction). If this enzyme is defective, energy from fatty acids is not available and, in addition, gluconeogenesis is inhibited resulting in severe and life-threatening hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). Why the hypoglycemia?

Write а written respоnse tо the fоllowing prompt. Pleаse note thаt this is worth twenty points essentially two letter grades of this last examination. I am looking for 15-20 sentences (a good paragraph). You may want to think before you take off writing. We have covered a lot of ground this semester -- literary periods, authors, historical eras. And the authors have been from various backgrounds, each with a unique experience and perspective on the American experience -- its landscape, people, and traditions. I want you to think over the entire semester -- not just this last unit -- and I want you to identify one text that-- for you -- epitomizes (represents) what American literature has come to mean to YOU this semester. Explain your choice and as you do summarize a few points the author makes in the text that are memorable to you, or why the author/text you have chosen made such an impression on you. In other words, if you were never to read anything else by an American writer, but instead had to point to one text that you have read and admired this semester, which one do you choose and why?
