  2.    Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
  3.    Lactate dehydrogenase
  4.    Glucose isomerase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Lactate dehydrogenase
Question 112. . Regulated metabolic pathways are
  1.    compartmentalized in eukaryotes
  2.    usually regulated at the first step
  3.    committed after the first step
  4.    all of these
 Discuss Question

Question 113.
When living organisms are cooled below some critical body temperature, the metabolic reactions within their cells cease to function properly. This malfunction occurs because
  1.    their enzymes lose the proper three-dimensional shape
  2.    enzyme active sites become permanently bound to substrates
  3.    the activation energy for the reaction is raised
  4.    there is insufficient molecular motion for substrates to interact
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> there is insufficient molecular motion for substrates to interact
Question 114. . Glycogen degradation requires the enzyme namely
  1.    glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase
  2.    glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen-debranching enzyme
  3.    glycogen synthase and phosphorylase
  4.    none of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen-debranching enzyme
Question 115. . What is the cause of the genetic disease known as Galactosemia?
  1.    Deficiency in lactase
  2.    Absence of galactose 1-P uridyl transferase
  3.    Absence of lactose synthetase
  4.    Non functioning of semnase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Absence of galactose 1-P uridyl transferase
Question 116. . The hormones, glucagon and epinephrine, stimulate glycogen breakdown to G-6-P
  1.    only in the liver
  2.    using ATP as the phosphoryl donor
  3.    directly, by binding to glycogen phosphorylase
  4.    indirectly, by first stimulating adenylate cyclase to make cAMP
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> indirectly, by first stimulating adenylate cyclase to make cAMP
