The function of the enzyme acyl CoA synthetase is: A) lipolysis to release free glyceraldehyde. B) ATP-dependent reduction prior to activation. C) ATP-dependent activation of fatty acids using CoA. D) Production of acetyl CoA for the TCA cycle E) None of the answers is correct. The enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase contains a derivative of ___ as its coenzyme. A) pyridoxamine B) niacin C) riboflavin D) cobalamin E) pantothenic acid Why are triacylglycerols an excellent design for energy stores? A) They are anhydrous. B) They are small. C) They are highly reduced. D) They are anhydrous, and they are small. E) They are anhydrous, and they are highly reduced. Glucagon and ___ stimulate the breakdown of triacylglycerols by activation of a hormone-sensitive lipase. What molecule is used to transport acetyl groups from the matrix to the cytoplasm? A) acetyl-carnitine B) succinyl CoA C) oxaloacetate D) alpha-ketoglutarate E) citrate

Explanation / Answer

18. A. Pyruvate

19. The coenzyme that provide reduvtive power for fatty acid synthesis is Acetyl Coenzyme A

20. The function of Acyl coenzyme A synthetase is ATP dependent Activation of fatty acid using CO A

21. The enzyme methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase contains Riboflavin as a derivative of as its coenzyme.

22. Triglycerols have an ecxcellent design for energy stores because they are anhydrous and they are highly reduced.

23. Glucagon and    Insulin stimulate the breakdown of triglycerols by activation of hormone sensitive lipase

24. Citrate is used to transfer acetyl group from matrix to cytoplasm.
