Which of the following statements about acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate is not correct? a.) they are synthesized in the liver b.) they can give rise to acetone c.) they contain 4 carbon atoms and require 3 acetyl CoA molecules for their synthesis d.) they are normal fuel for heart muscle e.) they can be regarded as water-soluble, transportable forms of citrate in the blood. Glycosides are a.) molecules resulting from the glycosidic linkage of two alcohols b) sugars that exist in the linear confirmation c) molecules resulting from the covalent linkage of a sugar and an acid such as phosphate d) molecules resulting from the covalent linkage of a sugar and an alcohol such as a second sugar e) sugars that exist in the hemiacetal or hemiketal form After starvation when triacylglycerols are used as a source of energy, the following happens: a) the level of fatty acids in the blood increases b) the level of glutamate in the blood increases c) the level of alanine in the blood increases d) the level of glucose in the blood increases e) the level of ketone bodies in the blood increases

a. Glucose-6-P dehydrogenase and the hexose monophosphate shunt decarboxylate glucose, and thus, the pathway is an important source of: a. Ribosomes b. 20 S ribosomes c. NAD d. Bicarbonate e. ATP b. Based on their biosynthesis, most fatty acids are even-numbered molecules. Thus, 15 and 17 chain fatty acids would need to begin with: a. Acetone b. Beta-hydroxy-butyrate c. Acetoacetate d. Pyruvate e. Propanyl-CoA c. As the most important anabolic hormone, insulin increases fat synthesis by: a. Inhibiting glycogen synthase activity b. Via ketone body formation c. Increasing malonyl-CoA synthesis d. Increasing hormone-sensitive lipase activity e. Stimulating the Krebs cycle d. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered better for your health. They are most often: a. Derived from mammals b. Have no double bonds c. Hydrogenated oils d. Liquids at room temperature e. Mix easily with water
