Question

Match the words below to the appropriate blanks in the following sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Malonyl CoA

2. Inhibits

3.fatty acil CoA

4. Carboxylase

5. Insulin

6. Synthesis

7. Glucagon

8. Oxidation

Explanation:

the oxidation of the mitochondria is blocked by the entry of fatty acid units, a reaction produced by stopping the carnitine acetyl transferase mediated by Malonyl CoA

A key intermediate in fatty acid synthesis ——-Malonyl CoA—-inhibits —-carnitine acyltransferase I, thereby blocking the entry of fatty acyl units into the mitochondrion for oxidation.

The substrates for fatty acid oxidation, ——Fatty acyl CoAs ——-, inhibit fatty acid synthesis by interfering with the polymerization of acetyl-CoA ——carboxylase ——.

Hormonal effects on adipocytes are opposed:——- Insulin ——-promotes fatty acid ———-synthesis ——-by several mechanisms;——Glucagon ——promotes fat breakdown and fatty acid ——Oxidation ——
