Question
Chapter 19, Problem 31RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Lewis-dot structure of the appropriate portions of the molecules where the electrons are lost during the following conversions is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis dot structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons.
A Lewis dot structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule.
Electrons are represented by dots around the atoms, and the structures are also called Lewis electron dot structures.

- REFLECT AND APPLY There is a reaction in carbohydrate meta- bolism in which glucose-6-phosphate reacts with NADP+ to give 6-phosphoglucono- -lactone and NADPH.

- REFLECT AND APPLY Two biochemistry students are about to use mitochondria isolated from rat liver for an experiment on oxidative phosphorylation. The directions for the experiment specify addition of purified cytochrome c from any source to the reaction mixture. Why is the added cytochrome c needed? Why does the source not have to be the same as that of the mitochondria?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Does the net gain of ATP in glycolysis differ when glycogen, rather than glucose, is the starting material? If so, what is the change?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY The intermediates of glycolysis are phosphorylated, but those of the citric acid cycle are not. Suggest a reason why.arrow_forward
