Upload an image of your drawing. Malate in the cytosol may be converted to pyruvate in a single step in a reaction catalyzed by malic enzyme. This reaction requires the cofactor NADP+ and is analogous to one of the reactions in the citric acid cycle This reaction along with the pentose phosphate pathway, provides reducing equivalents for fatty acid biosynthesis. Draw out this reaction showing the structures or names of the substrate, products and cofactors. Identify which step in the citric acid cycle that this reaction is most similar to.

  The structure of the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) is shown. Which common biomolecule would best serve as the starting material for this compound? Give structure, name or abbreviation.  (1 pt.) Epinephrine acts on liver cells through a G protein coupled receptor and acts similar to the hormone, glucagon. Does the action of epinephrine promote the synthesis or breakdown of glycogen?  (1 pt.) Both epinephrine and glucagon activate the same intracellular messenger, 3’,5’-cyclic AMP (cAMP). Explain how increased levels of cAMP in the cell are able to control both the synthesis and breakdown of intracellular glycogen beginning with GTP bound to the  α -subunit of the G protein receptor.  (4 pts.)

Three α -ketoacids, a 3-C atom pyruvate, a 4-C atom oxaloacetate, and a 5-C atom α-ketoglutarate, are found in the glycolytic pathway and the citric acid cycle. Give three metabolic fates (name or abbreviation of end product or pathway) of the 3-carbon acid. Give three metabolic fates (name or abbreviation of end product or pathway) of the 4-carbon acid.

Let there be a region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of , y = cos x, and

A conical reservoir is 8 meters deep and 6 meters in diameter at itsbase and is oriented with the pointed tip down. If the depth of the water is 8meters, how much work is required to pump out all of the water? The water ispumped out of the top of the reservoir. Recall that the density of water is 1000kilograms per cubic meter.   Click ‘True’ when finished.
