Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Most amino acids are generated inside the body
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
First ingested proteins enter the liver; which of the following are possible metabolic pathways for them?
Respuesta
  • Broken down for glucose
  • Sent from liver as branched chain amino acids
  • Converted urea and excreted
  • Broken down for the amino group

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
How are amino acids used by most organs (other than building proteins)?
Respuesta
  • Broken down for energy
  • To build proteins
  • To shunt metabolites around the blood

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
The carbon skeletons of amino acids can enter the intermediary metabolism at 7 different points to make energy
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Amino acids assist in gluconeogesis by creating intermediates in the cycle that can then be used
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Alanine can be converted to what?
Respuesta
  • Pyruvate + Glutamate
  • Ketoglutamate + Glutamate
  • OAA + Glutamate

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Which amino acid can be converted to OAA/fumarate (and Glutamate) for the TCA cycle
Respuesta
  • Aspartate
  • Alanine
  • Glutamate

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
Glutamate is used to make Ketoglutamate for the TCA cycle and an NH4 for the urea cycle
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Which aa is used to move excess NH3 from the peripheral tissues?
Respuesta
  • Arg- it can carry up to four extra NH3
  • Phe- it can carry up to four extra NH3
  • Asp- it can carry up to four extra NH3

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Leu, Val and Ile are all examples of what?
Respuesta
  • Branched chain amino acids
  • Basic amino acids
  • Neutral amino acids

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
What is the use of branched chain amino acids?
Respuesta
  • Can be temporarily substituted for F.As in all tissues
  • Can be used to shuttle NH3 to the liver
  • Have carbon skeletons that can be attached to proteins

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The inheritance of Maple Syrup Urine Disease is what kind?
Respuesta
  • Autosomal recessive
  • Autosomal dominant
  • Sex-Linked

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
In MSUD, the mutation is in Branched Chain K-Dehydrogenase, so branched chain amino acids cannot be broken down
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
How is MSUD treated?
Respuesta
  • Diet
  • Excess Glut & Ala
  • Excess Phe & Ser
