Fluroacetate is a potent inhibitor of a citric acid cycle enzyme. Fluroacetate has been used as a poison by ranchers in the West to control coyote populations.  In a mammalian cell, fluroacetate is enzymatically converted to the following molecule: What enzyme would be inhibited by this molecule when used as a substrate?

Spontaneous termination of a pregnancy is considered an abortion if:

In fatty acid β-oxidation, the first catalyzed step is given below. This reaction is most similar to what other reaction that we have studied?  

In the endogenous pathway for plasma lipoprotein transport, what lipoprotein is produced in the liver for delivery of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters to extrahepatic tissues (i.e., muscle, adipose)?

The compound rotenone has seen wide use as a rat poison. As an inhibitor, rotenone binds and blocks electron transport at Complex I of the electron transport chain (ETC). What are the consequences to electron transport when this inhibitor is introduced into cells?

The nurse is monitoring a patient in the active stage of labor. Which conditions associated with fetal compromise should the nurse report?  Select all that apply…

In an experimental system for the study of the electron transport chain, electrons can be supplied by adding ascorbate as an artificial electron donor. When using ascorbate in these experiments it is necessary to include an electron acceptor such as TMPD (an intermediate electron acceptor) that accepts electrons from ascorbate and can then donate electrons to cytochrome c. When using this experimental system it would be possible to transfer electrons directly to which complex?
