Chapter 13, Problem 24P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The $\Delta G^{\prime }°$ for the ATP-dependent synthesis of Acetyl $\text{CoA}$.

Introduction: The glycolysis is the process of series of reactions converting the glucose molecules into two molecules of pyruvate in the presence of oxygen. The pyruvate undergoes series of reactions in the citric acid cycle and converts into Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A).

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of the presence of inorganic pyrophosphatase in almost all cells on synthesis of acetyl $\text{CoA}$.
