The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine

acyltransferase i facilitates the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria for β oxidation, whereas acetyl-coa carboxylase catalyzes the first reaction in the fatty acid synthesis pathway. the amp-activated protein kinase (ampk) regulates the activity of acetyl-coa carboxylase by phosphorylating a specific serine residue. mutation of this regulatory serine to alanine or aspartate would be expected to have different effects on the regulation of acetyl-coa carboxylase. select the statements that describe the expected effects of mutations of the regulatory serine.

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.

What prevents the full intake of calcium in milk?
katrin [286]

Phosphorous: Also known as phosphoric acid and phosphate, phosphorous, which is in cola and many processed foods, can interfere with calcium absorption.

Insoluble fiber: This type of fiber, such as the kind in wheat bran, reduces calcium absorption

Foods with high levels of oxalic acid include spinach, collard greens, sweet potatoes, rhubarb, and beans and this will interfere with calcium absorption.

The answer is <span>Position emission tomography (PET). The nuclear imaging procedure in medicine is able to detect even molecular activities in a cell. They are therefore effective in detecting cancers, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and etcetera. The radionuclides are modeled such that they accumulate in the targeted organ. They measure sugar (glucose) metabolism, blood flow, and oxygen utilization. </span>
