In discussing the energy of a physiological system, the Gibbs free energy is most relevant. Since the value of entropy cannot be known, change in the Gibbs free energy is more commonly used. In order to get reliable result we should hold all variables constant except the one we are interested in measuring. If you are interested in studying respiration in this perspective, which one of the following should be measured? Select one: a. Change in temperature b. Change in length c. Change in number of molecules d. Change in electrical charge e. Change in pressure

A radiolabeled glucose solution is utilized as a nutrient source for a human myocyte in order to investigate the metabolic response under several conditions. This system was subjected to different conditions, and the CO₂(g) emitted is captured using carbon sequestration apparatus. The radioactivity of the sequestered gas is then measured. The following are the conditions (a to d). Arrange them in terms of expected radioactivity of the captured gas noting that higher radioactivity corresponds to increased concentration of CO2(g). Unless otherwise stated, all of these conditions are at room temperature. Explain the trend in 4 to 5 sentences. a. 1.0 M phosphate buffer, pH = 6.8 b. 0.1 M NaF c. 0.1 M citric acid d. 100 °C

Imagine you are working in a lab, and you are performing two chemical reactions. You notice that Reaction A occurs much faster than Reaction B, and that both reactions release the same amount of heat. Which of the following conclusions can be made from your observation? Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is more negative (i.e., a larger negative number) than the AG for Reaction B. Reaction A has a lower activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has a higher activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is less negative (i.e., a smaller negative number) than the AG for Reaction B.

1- 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) is a phosphoryl group donor during the synthesis of ATP in the reaction: 1,3-BPG + ADP → 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP In human erythrocytes, the steady-state concentration of ATP is 2.24 mM, that of ADP is 0.25 mM, and that of 3-Phosphoglycerate is 0.15 mM. Calculate the concentration of 1,3-BPG at 25 °C, assuming that the above reaction is at the Equilibrium in the cell, and that the AG° of the reaction is -18.9 kJ/mol.

Acetazolamide is a drug which inhibits carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase participates in regulation of the pH and bicarbonate content of a number of body fluids. Figure 2 shows the experimental curve of initial reaction velocity (as percentage of Vma) versus [S] (concentration) for the carbonic anhydrase reaction. The graph also shows the curve in the presence of acetazolamide. 100 No inhibitor 50 Acetazolamide 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 [S] (mM) Figure 2 (i) Compare the maximal velocities and Michaelis Menten constants of the enzyme in the absence and the presence of the inhibitor acetazolamide.
