Biochemistry WGU c785 is an undergraduate-level course
designed to provide students with a foundational
understanding of the chemical processes within living
organisms,
Nonenzymatic glycosylation or glycation 1
creates glycoproteins by: Nonenzymatic glycosylation or glycation creates
1. Chemical addition of sugars to
glycoproteins by the chemical addition of sugars to polypeptides polypeptides. Since
this type of glycosylation is
2.Extracellular synthesis nonenzymatic, the time and the concentration of sugar
3.Attaching 20 amino acids control glycosylation. Because people with higher circulating
4. Secretion into extracellular matrix levels of glucose have higher levels of nonenzymatic
glycosylation, measurement of the glycosylated hemoglobin
A1c is a diagnostic test used to monitor blood sugar levels
in persons with diabetes.
Which of the following is a 5-carbon sugar? 3
1. Glucose Ribose is a pentose, a simple sugar
(monosaccharide) that has
2.Fructose five carbon atoms per molecule. It is synthesized in the body
3.Ribose and obtained in small amounts from consumption of ripe fruits
4. Sucrose and vegetables. Ribose serves as an energy substrate for the
resynthesis of ATP and is a key component of ribonucleic
acid (RNA). Deoxyribose, a component of DNA, also is a
pentose.
