BCH4024 OC SP25 E3 Q16: Refer to the picture below – Which of the following statements regarding the production of molecule B in this pathway is TRUE?

BCH4024 OC SP25 E3 Q26: The next two questions relate to the following clinical scenario: Sparty has type 1 diabetes mellitus. His body is unable to produce insulin, and hence hormonal regulation associated with insulin is not observed.  He has just been admitted to the hospital with symptoms of Kussmaul respirations (rapid and deep breathing), polyuria (frequent urination) and polydipsia (frequent thirst). Initial lab data indicated elevated blood glucose, and the presence of glucose and ketone bodies in the urine. Sparty must use a mixture of insulin analogs to maintain his blood glucose due to the lack of production of insulin by his pancreas. Which of the following statements correctly describes native human insulin?

BCH4024 OC SP25 E3 Q20: A three-year-old boy is brought into the clinic suffering from cardiorespiratory distress following an infection. Previously, the boy was admitted to the hospital in a coma and suffered a cardiac arrest. He was extremely hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) and showed hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). Muscle and liver biopsies contained large amounts of lipids.  The diagnosis was a carnitine deficiency. Which of the following statements would be correct based on the carnitine deficiency diagnosis?

BCH4024 OC SP25 E3 Q44: Porphyria is an inherited condition that results in the failure to produce sufficient levels of porphyrins (see structure). Inability to produce sufficient porphyrins can have a devastating effect on cells to produce ATP by cellular respiration. What of the following would be directly and severely restricted in an individual with porphyria?

BCH4024 OC SP25 E3 Q2: Dr. Otto Warburg proposed that cancer cells have an altered metabolism, one that is much more reliant on glycolysis for ATP production, which explains their ability to grow and metastasize. In the 80 years since the “Warburg Hypothesis” was presented, we have learned a lot about the biochemistry of cancer. The following 6 questions are focused on these findings. The cancer cell’s increased dependence on glycolysis for its energy needs also implies that which of the following statements must also be true in a cancer cell?
