Question

True or false?

True False  The function of the enzyme acyl CoA synthetase is the ATP-dependent coupling of fatty acids to CoA.
True False  Unsaturated fatty acids contain zero alkene bonds.
True False  The brain uses ketones instead of glucose for ATP production during long-term fasting.
True False  A biotin-deficient diet may lead to an increase of cytosolic acetyl CoA.
True False  Untreated, chronic ketone body production will raise blood pH levels.
True False  The availability of the metabolite malate determines whether acetyl CoA, made from fatty acids, can enter the citric acid cycle.
True False  Acetyl CoA used in fatty acid synthesis is transferred from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm in the form of citrate.
True False  When Ribose 5-phophate needs are greater than the need for NADPH, Glycolysis and the backwards route of the non-oxidative part of PPP are used.
True False  The enzyme that catalyzes the addition of an activated two-carbon compound with an activated three-carbon compound is malonyl transacylase.
True False  Double C=C bonds are introduced into fatty acids in the mitochondria matrix compartment of the cell.
True False  The PPP produces NADPH during the oxidative phase of the pathway.
True False  Lipoamide takes the acetyl group from TPP.
True False  In the phosphopentose isomerase reaction Ribulose 5-phosphate is converted to Xylulose 5-phosphate through an enediolate intermediate
