Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction is favorable or not is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction using curved arrow symbolism is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a chemical reaction which takes place when water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. In case of biological hydrolysis, the cleavage of biomolecules takes place in such a way that the larger molecules get break down to smaller ones. The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, they are actually a single chemical reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given reaction can be used to synthesize ATP from ADP is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, but they are actually a single chemical reaction.

- Estimate the number of ATP molecules produced from a 15-gram glucose. (Molar mass glucose = 180.16 g/mol).arrow_forwardThe average adult consumes approximately 11,700 kJ per day. Assuming that the metabolic pathways leading to ATP synthesis operate at 50% thermodynamic efficiency, about 5850 kJ ends up in the form of synthesized ATP. The average adult consumes approximately 11,700 kJ per day. Assuming that the metabolic pathways leading to ATP synthesis operate at 50% thermodynamic efficiency, about 5850 kJ ends up in the form of synthesized ATP. Imagine that creatine phosphate, rather than ATP, is the universal energy carrier molecule in the human body. Assume that the cellular concentrations of creatine phosphate, creatine, and phosphate are 21.7 mM, 2.17×10-3 mM, and 6.30 mM, respectively. Calculate the weight of creatine phosphate that would need to be consumed each day by a typical adult human if creatine phosphate could not be recycled. Estimate the free energy of hyrdolysis of creatine phosphate under cellular conditions to determine how many moles are required.

Given the listed concentrations, calculate the free energy change for this reaction at energy change for this reaction at 37.0 °C (310 K). AG' for the reaction is +29.7 kJ/mol. Assume that the reaction occurs at pH 7. [malate] = 1.25 mM [oxaloacetate] = 0.130 mM [NAD+] = 440 mM [NADH] = = 180 mM kJ.mol-¹ AG: X10 TOOLSarrow_forward
- NADH and FADH2 can "create" ATP only if the cell can do electron transport True Falsearrow_forwardTo learn more about the role of the electron transport chain in generating energy during respiration in this organism, you use two drugs. These drugs can each pick up electrons from specific intermediates in the pathway as shown above. You treat cells carrying out respiration with either a saturating dose of drug A or B, so that all the electrons which would normally continue along the pathway are captured by the drug in question. Complete the following table. In the presence of drug A, will the rate of ATP synthesis increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning. In the presence of drug B, will the rate of ATP synthesis increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardrank in order that releases most to least amount of energyarrow_forward
- In the citric acid cycle, a - ketoglutarate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction from a - ketoglutarate to Succinyl CoA.

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. Reset Help oxidized The reaction of FAD involves the of hydrogen; therefore FAD is loss The reaction of succinic acid involves the of hydrogen; therefore succinic acid is addition reducedarrow_forwardChemistry What is the main aspect that the enzymes succinyl-CoA synthetase, pyruvate kinase, and phosphoglycerate kinase have in common?arrow_forward

Briefly explain. ClO– + CH3CO2H ⇌ HClO + CH3CO2– When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the adenosine triphosphate molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate, ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi, where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4? Permanganate, MnO4–, can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic aqueous solutions.
