(a) Interpretation:
Whether the given reaction proceeds at the temperature of 25o C. If so, what are the reactant and products' concentrations.
Concept introduction:
The enzyme, phosphoglucomutase is involved in the biosynthesis of starch. The phosphoglucomutase enzyme interconverts the glucose-6-P molecules and the glucose-1-P molecules. This interconversion is the very first step of the starch biosynthesis.
(b) Interpretation:
The effect of omitting the phosphoglucomutase enzyme on the interconversion of glucose-1-P to glucose-6-P.
Concept introduction:
The enzyme, phosphoglucomutase is involved in the biosynthesis of starch. The phosphoglucomutase enzyme interconverts the glucose-6-P molecules and the glucose-1-P molecules. This interconversion is the very first step of the starch biosynthesis.
(c) Interpretation:
The cellular conditions under which this reaction will occur continuously at a high rate.
Concept introduction:
The enzyme, phosphoglucomutase is involved in the biosynthesis of starch. The phosphoglucomutase enzyme interconverts the glucose-6-P molecules and the glucose-1-P molecules. This interconversion is the very first step of the starch biosynthesis.

- Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)arrow_forwardBiochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question Please help. Thank you What is the function of glutamate dehydrogenase?arrow_forward

- 1. How would you explain the term ‘good food’? 2. How would you define Nutrition? 3. Nutrients are generally categorised into two forms. Discuss.arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question. Please help solve. Thank you! Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!arrow_forward
- Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you. You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14. After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer. Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?arrow_forwardBiochemistry question. Please help with. Thanks in advance For each of the enzymes listed below, explain what the enzyme does including function, names (or structures) of the substrate and products and the pathway(s) (if applicable) it is/are found in.
