Document Summary
High demands for metabolic fuels include: liver converts fatty acid to acetyl-coa and then to ketone bodies and ketone bodies are used by peripheral tissues. Lactate produced in the muscles are converted to pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase. Arginine is not converted to pyruvate in liver which is used for gluconeogenesis. Propionyl-coa is converted to succinyl-coa in a pathway involving three enzymes. Excess citrate activates acetyl-coa carboyxylase which will eventually make palmitate. Guanine joins with cytosine to make 3 hydrogen bonds. There are apporixmately 3 billion bases in the human genome and its around 1 m in length if you were to lay out the entire genomes. (23 chormosomes) Ribofalvin (vitamin b2) is present in eggs and milk. Tubocurarine is: an active component of the arrow poison used by south american. Indians and it casues blockage of the ligand-gate ion channels, muscle relaxer. Complex 1 pumps 4 h into the intermembrane space.
