Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of glucose with ATP is to be determined using the curved arrow symbolism.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed to different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction.

- Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of sucrosefrom glucose and fructose.arrow_forwardIn strong base, glucose converts to fructose. Explain howthis conversion occurs.arrow_forwardIn the citric acid cycle, a - ketoglutarate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction from a - ketoglutarate to Succinyl CoA. Given this reaction, calculate for the enthalpy of formation of the product using (a) Hess's Law, (b) standard enthalpies of formation and (c) mean bond enthalpies. Show your complete solution. COA-S OOC CH2 CH2 + NAD++ COA + CO2 + NADH CH2 a-ketoglutarate CH2 dehydrogenase COO a-ketoglutarate COO Succinyl CoAarrow_forward
- When we break down sucrose in our bodies through the process of digestion, what are hte resulting products? glucose and fructose galactose and fructose fructose and lactose glucose and galactosearrow_forwardIf sugar must be broken down to release energy through cellular respiration, why is ATP needed in the process? Explain.arrow_forwardTwo molecules of glucose, a monosaccharide, when joined together they form a molecule of maltose. Write a chemical reaction to show this process.arrow_forward
- ATP is produced during synthesis of compounds. O True O Falsearrow_forwardIn carbohydrate metabolism, the hexose monophosphate shunt is used for: Question 67 options: A) aerobic glycolysis B) anaerobic glycolysis C) protect RBC's from oxidative damage & are a source of energy D) glycogenolysisarrow_forwardThe 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_forward
