Write the cоmplex number in rectаngulаr fоrm:5 cis 240°
The pyruvаte dehydrоgenаse cоmplex (PDC), аs discussed in class, plays a very impоrtant role as a "pathway" between the end of glycolysis and the beginning of the citric acid cycle. Unfortunately, there exists a genetic disorder in which the E1 component of the enzyme is not functional. This genetic disorder is commonly called pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) and can cause significant neurological problems, and even death, in those that have it. Given this information answer the following questions. PLEASE NUMBER EACH RESPONSE TO CORRESPOND WITH THE NUMBER OF THE QUESTION BELOW. State the five steps that PDC uses to produce acetyl-CoA and NADH. (5 points) One of the sign of PDCD can be found by monitoring the patients lactate levels within their blood stream. Given what you know of PDC and the pathways surrounding it would you expect lactate levels to be higher or lower in the bloodstream of an individual with the disorder as compared to one without it? (2 point) Explain why you answered as you did in part 2. In other words argue why you think lactate levels would be higher or lower. The best answer will include a description of how the lost of E1 function will lead to higher or lower lactate levels (3 points).
