Questions

Shоw аll wоrk fоr full credit. Once you’re finished testing but before you’ve submitted your exаm in Cаnvas, hold up each page of your handwritten work (including scrap work) in front of your webcam to record an image of your worked-out solutions. An extra ten minutes of testing time has been given to each exam for this purpose. Once this process is done, you will then submit your exam in Canvas and will have five minutes to upload your handwritten work to the Canvas assignment File Upload Midterm I Exam Assignment. DON'T TYPE YOUR ANSWER HERE! Evaluate the integral by making a substitution and then by using a table entry from the table of integrals. Label the table entry.

Uplоаd аn imаge оf yоur drawings. Draw out the reaction that releases acetyl-CoA in the cytosol for fatty acid synthesis.  Substrate and product names are fine, but give the name of the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction and indicate the role of any necessary cofactors or co-reactants.  (2 pts.)   Beginning with the activated CO2 on the cofactor shown below, draw out the mechanism for the addition of CO2- (carboxylate) to acetyl CoA. (3 pts.)   Fatty acid biosynthesis requires a reducing agent. What is the principal reducing agent for fatty acid biosynthesis and what is the name of the principal pathway that produces this reducing agent?  (2 pts.)  Reducing agent: Pathway (this was in the homework):    The first round of fatty acid biosynthesis requires two building blocks or reactants attached to fatty acid synthase at the priming and the ACP sites. Beginning with these two building blocks, draw out the mechanistic steps (arrow pushing) involved in the synthesis of acetoacetate (4C) attached to the ACP. (3 pts.)  

Uplоаd yоur аnswers tо these questions. а.) In gluconeogenesis, oxaloacetate can be converted in a single step in the matrix of the mitochondria to an intermediate, which is not the final, but the penultimate compound in glycolysis. Show this reaction. Draw the structure of the product(s) of this reaction and give the name(s) or acceptable abbreviation(s) of any necessary cofactor(s) or co-reactants for the reaction as well as, the name of the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction.  (3 pts.) b.) When cytosolic NADH is insufficient to run the GAP dehydrogenase reaction in reverse, oxaloacetate can also be converted to the same penultimate glycolysis intermediate in the cytosol instead of in the matrix. Outline the set of reactions in this case, beginning with oxaloacetate in the mitochondrial matrix and ending with the formation of the penultimate glycolysis intermediate in the cytosol. Structures or names or acceptable abbreviations of compounds and cofactors are sufficient. (3 pts.) c.) Oxaloacetate connects to fatty acid biosynthesis via the reaction that forms the “shuttle compound” responsible for transferring fatty acid building blocks from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol. Draw out the reaction that synthesizes this “shuttle compound.” Draw the structure of the product(s) of the reaction and give the name(s) or acceptable abbreviation(s) of any necessary cofactor(s) or co-reactants for the reaction. (3 pts.)
