1
26
In plant and bacteria how many genes encode or fatty acid synthase?
7
27
How many ATP molecules we should invest for each fatty acid chain?
23 ATP molecules
28
By which 2 ways it is possible to produce acetal coa?
1) glycolysis | 2) ketogenic amino acids
29
How can we make acetal coa through glycolysis?
Glucose to pyruvate to acetal coa
30
From which type of amino acid we can make acetal coa
Ketogenic amino acids
31
Is there a transporter that can shift acetal coa from the mitochondria to the cytosol?
No
32
How can we transport acetal coa from the mitochondria to the cyftosol?
Connect it to oxaloacetate, and send it with citrate, with a shuttle
33
Does pyruvate was the ability to move from cytosol tomitochondria?
Yes
34
What are the 2 ways to get NADPH?
1. when Malate turns into pyruvate | 2. from phosphopentose pathway
35
What is the reactant in the phosphopentose pathway
Glucose 6 phosphate
36
What is the product of the phosphopentose pathway?
Ribulose 5 phosphate
37
What is the ratio between NADPH/NADP+ in the cytosol?
75
38
What is the ratio between NADH/NAD+ in the cytosol?
1/1000
39
What is the reductive force of process of fatty acids bio synthesis
Nadph
40
What is the reductive force of process of fatty acids bio degradation
NADH FADH2
41
Which process is the most regulated in fatty acid biosynthesis?
From acetal coa to melonyl coa
42
Which type of regulation the insulin does regarding to fatty acid bio synthesis?
Positive regulation
43
How does glucagone regulates synthesis of fatty acids?
Phosphorylation and de-activation of acetal coa carboxylate
44
When ACC is polymerized, is he active/inactive
Active
45
What are the allosteric regulations over fatty acids synthesis?
A lot of citrate suits for synthsizing fatty acids | A lot of palmitoyl coa - stop producing fatty acids
46
When there is AMPK in the cell what does it do to acetyl-coa carboxlase?
Phosphorylates it (inactivation)
47
AMPK in the cell is a sign for
Low levels of energy
48
In which part of the cell we make double bonds?
In the Endoplasmic Reticulum
49
Where can we elongate fatty acid
1) In the ER | 2) In the mitochondria
50
In which type of ER fatty acids gets elongated
Smooth ER
51
What is the limit for inserting double bonds in mammals
After 10
52
What is the name of the enzyme that performed fatty aced de-saturation
Fatty acyl Coa desaturate
53
Who provides electrons to the activity of fatty acyl CoA desaturate?
- electron from the single bond we want to turn into double bond - from NADPH
54
What oxygenase enzymes do with oxygen molecules?
Insert them to organic molecules
55
What are the main purpose of cyt p450?
Oxidizing molecules | Make toxins more soluble so we will be able to secret them via urine
