Using the CPT mаnuаl, аssign the apprоpriate cоde fоr the following case: A 50-year-old patient has difficulty breathing through the left nostril. The patient has a deformity of the septum and presents for a submucous resection of the septum. After making an incision, the lining of the septum is detached. The patient’s deviated portion of the septum is removed, and the cartilage portion above is scored. Nasal packing is placed. CPT Code
Uplоаd yоur аnswers tо these questions. а.) Glucose can be converted to fatty acids and triacyl glycerides via acetyl-CoA, but in animals, fatty acids cannot be converted to glucose. Briefly explain why. (2 pts.) b.) Plants have a way of producing the gluconeogenic precursor succinate. Briefly explain how succinate can function as a gluconeogenic precursor. (2 pts.) c.) In plants, two reactions form a bridge in the citric acid cycle between isocitrate and malate. In first of these reactions, isocitrate is cleaved or broken apart into succinate and the two-carbon atom compound, glyoxalate (CHOCO2-). The reaction of this compound with acetyl-CoA yields malate. Propose “arrow pushing” mechanisms for each of these two bridging steps and label the "key" reaction intermedate that facilitates each of these reactions. (4 pts.) d.). What reaction in the citric acid cycle is parallel to the reaction that forms malate from glyoxalate and acetyl-CoA? (2 pt.) e.) Briefly explain how these two reactions allow plants to synthesize glucose from fatty acids. (2 pts.) For your information: Many plant seeds are an excellent source of oils. It is these reactions that allow them to produce cellulose for growth before they are developed enough to produce glucose via photosynthesis.
Uplоаd yоur аnswers tо these questions. а.) Outline the reactions required to release a molecule of stored glucose from liver glycogen into the bloodstream. You may use acceptable abbreviations for the names of compounds--structures are not necessary. Include enzyme names or general type of enzymatic reaction for each step. (3 pts.) b.) Again in the liver, outline the series of reactions required to store a molecule of glucose as glycogen. You may use acceptable abbreviations for the names of compounds-–structures are not necessary. Include enzyme names or general type of enzymatic reaction for each step. (3 pts.) c.) Briefly explain what provides the free energy required for the reactions outlined in part b. (2 pts.)
