Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of glucose-1-phosphate to form glucose and HPO42- and the change in the energy of the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a
Catabolism of the food takes place via a number of biochemical pathways. Some reactions may release energy while some reactions are caused due to the absorption of energy. The energy which is released by one reaction is used to derive some other reactions.

- Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is metabolized to lactic acid according to the equation C6H12O6(aq)2C3H6O3(aq) G=198 kJ at pH 7.0 and 25°C Glycolysis is the source of energy in human red blood cells. In these cells, the concentration of glucose is 5.0103 M, while that of lactic acid is 2.9103 M. Calculate AG for glycolysis in human blood cells under these conditions. Use the equation G=G+RT In Q, where Q is the concentration quotient, analogous to K.arrow_forwardTake a look at this organic reaction: CH3- 0=0 C O NAD+ NADH CH₂_1-0 CH3—C−O + CO2 The reactant molecule is re-drawn in the drawing area below. Highlight in red any groups in this molecule in which carbon atoms are oxidized by the reaction. Highlight in blue any groups in which carbon atoms are reduced. If no carbon atoms are oxidized or reduced, check the box under the drawing area. _L_L- C CH₂ - No carbons are oxidized or reduced. Ćarrow_forwardUse oxidation numbers to show that the fermentation of glucose, C6H12O6 to carbon dioxide and ethanol, C2H5OH, is a redox reaction. The balanced reaction is: C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 C6H12O6 C2H5OH CO2 C = H= O=arrow_forward

- Consider a protein with five amino acids and three possible energy levels (separated by 1 J/mol) each amino acid can occupy. At what temperature will there be 45% of molecules in conformation A and 55% of molecules in conformation B? Comment on the size of this number and what distribution you would expect at room temperature. What does this mean about how "different" these energy levels are? Look back at the figure and propose an error made in reporting units. What energy unit would have likely been more appropriate in this case?arrow_forwardMethanogens are prokaryotes that produce methane according to the net equation H2 + CO2→CH4 + 2H2O. Some bacteria consume methane according to the net equation CH4 + SO42- →HCO3- + HS− + H2O. (a) Classify these two types of bacteria as autotrophic or heterotrophic.
