Chapter 24, Problem 102IE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ration of the AMP and its ionized form in the phosphate metabolism is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The balancing of the reaction involves making the number of atoms on the reactant side and the product side exactly equal.

The redox reaction is the one in which the reduction and the oxidation takes place simultaneously in a reaction.

Reduction involves the addition of proton or electron to a species, or the removal of oxygen from a species.

Oxidation involves the removal of proton or electron to a species, or the addition of oxygen from a species.

To determine: The ratio of $\left[{\text{AMP-OH}}^{-}\right]$ and $\left[{\text{AMP-O}}^{2-}\right]$ in the phosphate metabolism.
