No, she is not correct. The brain continues to perform glycolysis because her body is obtaining glucose via gluconeogenesis. The brain and body still need glucose, and the glucose demand for the brain is so high. The liver uses the glucogenic AAs from the protein in her diet as non-carbohydrate precursors. The glucose synthesize in the liver is sent to the brain, which then brings it across the blood-brain-barrier using abundant and diverse glucose transporters. Once the glucose is in the brin cell, it is metabolized via cellular respiration which includes glycolysis.

Your friend is on the keto diet, in which she eats high-protein, low-carb meals. She tells you that she chose this diet so her body doesn't have to metabolize sugars via glycolysis anymore. Is she correct? Explain your logic in 2-3 sentences, focusing on the brain, its energy demands, and the transporters present in the blood-brain-barrier. How is her body obtaining glucose?

An irreversible inhibitor forms a stable bond with the enzyme and permanently inactivates it. Telomerase synthesizes and maintains telomeres. Telomeres protect the ends of DNA from exonucleases. If telomerase was not working, there would be no maintenance of the telomeres. With cell aging, telomeres shorten and limit proliferation. The telomere would quickly shorten which would speed up cell aging. Cancer cells have a limitless replicative potential. Imetelstat would reverse this have the cancer cells have telomere shortening very quickly hoping to approach cell death and stop replicating sooner.

Imetelstat is a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug and an irreversible inhibitor of telomerase. In 2-3 sentences, discuss the impact (if any) Imetelstat would have on eukaryotic: DNA replication, transcription, and cell aging. Be sure to define the term "irreversible inhibitor" in your response.
