A) True B) Falsearrow_forward(a) Convert the ball-and-stick model of A, one of the eight synthetic intermediates in the citric acid cycle, to a structural formula, and name the compound. (b) What is the immediate precursor of A in the citric acid cycle; that is, what compound forms A as a reaction product? (c) What compound is formed from A in the citric acid cycle?arrow_forward
- Place the steps of glycolysis in the order that they occur. Last step Answer Bank Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Aldolase cleaves the six-carbon sugar into two three-carbon sugars. Phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate. 3-Phosphoglycerate is formed. Fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated by phosphofructokinase. First steparrow_forwardIs the process of Glycolysis considered to be Anabolic or Catabolic?arrow_forward1.

- Question #48arrow_forwardGlucose-6-phosphate detours to the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway in erythrocytes because: Question 73 options: A) They lack mitochondria making them incapable of the TCA cycle B) They lack endoplasmic reticulum making them incapable of the TCA cycle C) Erythrocytes have no energy needs D) Erythrocytes utilize glucose directly for energyarrow_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

Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM, respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be about 1.2 g/cm'. (a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone? (b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as well, how long could contraction continue?
