(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of
Concept introduction: Glucose is converted to pyruvate by glycolysis
The Cori cycle is named after its discoverers, Gerty Radnitz Cori, and Carl Cori.
The molecule that contains six carbon atoms is termed as a
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the number of molecules involved in gluconeogenesis.
Concept introduction: Gluconeogenesis is an eleven-step pathway in which glucose is produced from non-carbohydrate substances. An overview of gluconeogenesis is as follows:
The molecule that contains six carbon atoms is termed as a
(c)
Interpretation: To determine the number of
Concept introduction: In the glycolysis metabolic pathway, a glucose molecule breaks down into two pyruvate molecules. Two ATP molecules and NADH reduced coenzymes are produced in the glycolysis pathway.
The molecule that contains six carbon atoms is termed as a
(d)
Interpretation: To determine the number of
Concept introduction: Lactate dehydrogenase enzymes convert pyruvate to lactate under anaerobic conditions in the human body. This anaerobic reduction of pyruvate to form lactate by enzymes is called lactate fermentation. The overall reaction equation for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate is as follows:
The molecule that contains six carbon atoms is termed as a

- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology LIST three characteristics of origins of replicationarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
