Chapter 11, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Researchers isolated an unknown substance, X, from rabbit muscle. They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments. (a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. (b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u). (c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond. (d) X dissolved readily in water, and the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter. (e) The aqueous solution of X is acidic. What is the empirical formula of X?
