(a)
Interpretation:
The place where glycolysis path occurrs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis process: This process breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
This process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic
(b)
Interpretation:
The place where gluconeogenesis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Gluconeogenesis the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources runs when available glucose from the diet and stored glycogen has been used up.
(c)
Interpretation:
The place where glycogenesis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage.
Metabolism: This process refers to biochemical process that occur any living organism including humans to maintain life.
(d)
Interpretation:
The place where glycogenolysis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Metabolism: This process refers to biochemical process that occur any living organism including humans to maintain life.
Glycogenolysis: The biochemical pathway for breakdown of glycogen to free glucose.

- The breakdown of glucose to pyruvate is: (a) glycolysis. (b) gluconeogenesis.(c) cellular respiration. (d) beta-oxidation.arrow_forwardName a pathway in muscles tissue that you would expect is enhanced (or upregulated) by the presence of adrenaline (aka epinephrine) in your veins (and arteries). a) glycogen breakdown b) glycolysis c) citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle d) lipid synthesis e) beta oxidationarrow_forwardName a compound that can serve as a raw material for gluconeogenesis and is from the a.) glycolytic pathway ) from the citric acid cycle c.) an amino acid. Glucose is the only carbohydrate that the brain can use for energy. Which pathway is mobilized to supply the need of the brain during starvation?: a.) glycolysis b.) gluconeogenesis or c.) glycogenesis? Explain. The end product of glycolysis, pyruvate, cannot enter as such into the citric acid cycle. Which process converts this C3 compound to a C2 compound? Of the 36 molecules of ATP produced by the complete metabolism of glucose, how many are produced directly in glycolysis alone, that is, before the common pathway? Based on the names of the enzymes participating in glycolysis, what would be the name of the enzyme catalyzing the activation of glycerol?arrow_forward
- What reaction or process in metabolism is catalyzed by each of the following enzymes: (a) pepsin; (b) succinate dehydrogenase; (c) ATP synthase?arrow_forwardThe pathway that converts glucose to acetyl-CoA is often referred to as an “aerobic oxidation pathway.” (a) Is molecular boxygen involved in any of the steps of glycolysis? (b) Thinking back to Chapter 20, where does molecular oxygen enter the picture?arrow_forwardGlycogen is the major animal storage polysaccharide, and is a polymer of glucose. a) List ALL the biochemical steps involved in storing GLUCOSE as glycogen b) Give NAME/S of the ENZYMES involved in EACH listed step c) What PULLS the reaction forward? d) Give the NAME of the tissue where these steps occur. (HINT: remember glycogen is branched chain).arrow_forward
- a) Explain in your own words, under what conditions pyruvate is converted into lactic acid (2pt). b) Does lactic acid fermentation occur in all cells of the body? (0.5pt). c) Explain in your own words your answer to part (b) (1pt) Answers must be in full sentences, include correct grammar and spelling, and contain biological correct information (0.5pt).arrow_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_forward(a) What amino acid, other than alanine, can be converted by transaminationto a gluconeogenic precursor? (b) Calculate the cost, in ATP equivalents, of converting two molecules of this amino acid to one molecule of glucose.arrow_forward
- The enzyme Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a key regulator of glycolysis. A) Does ATP bind the PFK allosteric siteor the active site? B) Does high amount of ATP in the cell activate or inhibit PFK? Why? C)What do you suppose happens to glucose if glycolysis is inhibited in the cell?arrow_forwardThe location of enzymes is important for metabolic pathways. Which of the following enzymes is NOT localized to the cytosolic compartment of the cell? A) Phosphofructokinase. B) Aldolase. OC) Pyruvate dehydrogenase. OD) Pyruvate kinase.arrow_forwardThe pentose phosphate pathway is an alternative pathway of glucose oxidation.(a). Give the two main products of this pathway.(b). Name the enzyme that controls this pathway. The deficiency of this enzyme is sometimes inherited from the parents. What do these patients suffer from?(c). How is this pathway related to nucleotide metabolism?arrow_forward
