For this assignment, you only need to answer ONE of the questions between #1 and #15. Everyone also needs to answer the last question (#16). Your teacher will asign you a number between 1 and 15. With your partner, use the image with that question number to locate your assigned metabolic disease. Using the internet, research that disorder and include the following information:

1. The name of the enzyme associated with this disease

2. The substrate for that enzyme

3. The product of that enzyme

4. The symptoms of the disorder

5. Explanation of how either a) how a build up of the substrate causes the symptoms or b) how a lack of the product causes the symptoms

Look at the above Legend for the images. Notice that solid lines are for synthesis (making larger molecules) and dotted lines are for degradation (breaking apart large molecules to make smaller ones). Also notice that different colors represent different types of biomolecules.
