Problem 71
Explain why one more ATP is produced when glucose is obtained from glycogen rather than used directly from the blood.
Problem 72
Why is it important that glycolysis be tightly controlled by the cell?
Problem 73
How many moles of ATP are generated from the catabolism of fructose (by glycolysis) in (a) liver cells and (b) muscle cells?
Problem 75
Why is it important for muscle cells to export lactate into the bloodstream during heavy exercise?
Problem 76
Under which physiological condition is the following pathway the predominant one? (a) glycolysis (b) gluconeogenesis
Problem 77
Why is it important for the cell that the NADH produced when pyruvate is converted to lactate be converted back to NAD \(^{+} ?\)
Problem 78
What are the characteristics of Type I diabetes?
Problem 79
What are the characteristics of Type II diabetes
Problem 80
Explain the relationship between metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
Problem 82
A primary function of liver cells is to synthesize new glucose via gluconeogenesis, while working muscle cells use glucose via glycolysis. Why is this a good physiological strategy for your body?
