Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The energy carrying product of oxidative phosphorylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Electron transport chain
(b)
Interpretation:
The product other than the energy carrying product released from oxidative phosphorylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of
Electron transport chain

(a) Name them.(b) Arrange them in order from least oxidized to mostoxidized.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the following statements are true or false:- a) The pentose phosphate pathway of glucose conversion is a supplier of NADPH (H +) for reductive syntheses. b) An overdose of insulin causes hypoglycemia in a patient with diabetes mellitus. c) Fructose-6-phosphate is an allosteric regulator of glycolysis.arrow_forward
- (a)What are the two superfamilies of proteins in which amylase is categorized? (b)To which superfamily of proteins does active site of the amylase belong?arrow_forward..a) Draw all of the reactions that occur in the aerobic metabolism of glucose that hydrolyze a thiolester bond. In your answer, include complete structural formulae as well as the names of any cofactors, enzymes, reactants and products. b) Explain why the free energy changes that characterize these reactions are so exergonic. Include a figure in your answer. ( c) If you were to completely catabolize 3 molecules of glucose under aerobic conditions, what would the ATP yield be as a result of the reactions that you've drawn above?arrow_forwardIn living cells, one mole of glucose undergoes a complete oxidation.(a). How many moles of ATP equivalents can be produced when one mole ofglucose is completely oxidized?(b). Indicate at which reaction steps are the ATP equivalents produced,directly or indirectly.arrow_forward
- the reaction catalyzed by glyceradehyde 3-phosphate dehydrigenase is based on NAD+ and a active site cysteine. Also another phosphate group is added. what is the reason for that? a) because one ATP is consumed b) an inorganic phosphate is activated for ATP synthesis C) NADH can be recycld and than converted back to NAD+ for glycolysis d) because one ATP is generatedarrow_forwardIn the Cori cycle, the lactate product of glycolysis in muscle is transformedback into glucose by the liver. (a) List the enzymes involved in the lactate → glucose pathway. (b) What is the net gain/loss of ATP for one round of the Cori cycle (glucose → lactate → glucose)?arrow_forwardWhere in the biochemical pathway of cellular respiration (glycolysis, intermediate stage, or citric acid cycle) does each of the following enter: (a) glycerol, (b) fatty acids, and (c) deaminated amino acids?arrow_forward

Show your steps of calculation.arrow_forwardSelect the following enzymes that utilize a mechanism where ATP serves as the phosphate donor. Select ALL that apply: a) glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase b) hexokinase c) aldolase class 1 d) PFK e) phosphoglucoisomerasearrow_forwarda) How many moles of ATP can be gained from the catabolism of the following substrates to pyruvate? 2 Mole mannose 2 Mole lactose mole glycerol. b) Name three metabolic processes in the cell that are enhanced and two that are inhibited in response to the hormone insulinarrow_forward
