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.

- The first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardDescribe whether each of the following substances serves primarily as an energy source, a form of stored energy, or a structural material some serve as more than one: a. cellulosec. glycogen b. sucrose, table sugard. starcharrow_forwardExplain why triacylglycerides are more efficient at energy storage (~ 9 Calories/g) compared to the two othermacronutrient classes, carbohydrates, and proteins (each ~ 4 Calories/g). Shown below is a representativeexample of each for comparison.arrow_forward
- Assume the standard Gibbs free energy change or deltaGO=5.02 kJ/mol for the reaction dihydroxyacetone phosphate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Calculate the deltaG for this reaction at 13.6°C when DHAP =0.47M and G3P =0.0025M in kJ/mol to two decimal places. «< Question 25 of 28 A Moving to another question will save this response. Close Windowarrow_forwardcreate a flow chart or diagram to illustrate the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. The starting carbohydrate molecules are starch, sucrose, lactose, glycogen, and cellulose. What will happen to these carbohydrates once we ingest them? Include the following from your flow chart or |diagram: 1) the location or site where the digestion or |absorption occurs 2) the enzymes 3) the products generated at each site or location You can create your flow chart or diagram using the smart art in your Microsoft word or you may choose to use whatever applications you have. A hand-drawn flow chart is also allowed. The task should also provide your creative interpretation.arrow_forwardGLYCOLYSIS: 1A) Starting with glucose (in the open-chain Fisher projection), draw out the molecular structures for each step of glycolysis. For each step, include the name of the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction. 1B) What is the net reaction of glycolysis? CITRIC ACID CYCLE: 2A) Starting with acetyl-coenzymeA and oxaloacetate, draw out the molecular structures for each step of the citric acid cycle. For each step, include the name of the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction. 2B) What is the net reaction of the citric acid cycle? What happens to each product? OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION: 3A) Thoroughly explain the biological significance of NADH/H* and FADH2 and their roles in oxidative phosphorylation. 3B) Describe and diagram the general pathway of the electrons from NADH/H+ and FADH₂ to O₂ during the electron transport chain. 3C) What is "chemiosmotic coupling", and what is its relationship to ATP synthesis? 3D) During oxidative phosphorylation, what is oxidized and what is…arrow_forward

O They are used to make lipids. O They are made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. O They are used to make proteins. O They are made of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.arrow_forward
- Which statement BEST describes why proteins are metabolized when calories are severely reduced? Actually, fats are metabolized during a starvation diet, not proteins. Proteins contain amino acids, which fuel the brain. Glycogen is a type of protein. There is a metabolic pathway in which glucose can be made from protein.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of reduction reaction? It is the removal of electrons from an atom or molecule. They are also referred to as dehydrogenation reactions An example of which is the conversion of Pyruvic acid to Lactic acid There is a decrease in the potential energy of the atom or molecule Which cells in the body convert most of the remaining fructose and practically all of the galactose to glucose?
