Chapter 23, Problem 23.56EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the compound among ATP and creatine phosphate that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.

Concept introduction: High-energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound.

Free energy on hydrolysis is considered as a parameter for determining the strain in the bonds. Greater the strain in the bond more will be the negative value of free energy on hydrolysis and vice-versa.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the compound among $\text{glucose 1-phosphate}$ and $\text{glucose 6-phosphate}$ that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.

Concept introduction: High-energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound.

Free energy on hydrolysis is considered as a parameter for determining the strain in the bonds. Greater the strain in the bond more will be the negative value of free energy on hydrolysis and vice-versa.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the compound among ADP and AMP that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.

Concept introduction: High-energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound.

Free energy on hydrolysis is considered as a parameter for determining the strain in the bonds. Greater the strain in the bond more will be the negative value of free energy on hydrolysis and vice-versa.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction
