Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of pathway underwent by the energy production in the form of ATP has to be identified

Concept Introduction:

Metabolism: The process by which living organisms synthesize energy they required is known as metabolism.  Mainly there are two pathways

  1. 1. Catabolism
  2. 2. Anabolism

Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy and it converts complex molecules into simple ones

Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.

Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.  The series involves 10 reactions.

Answer to Problem 25P

The energy production in the form of ATP undergoes a catabolic pathway.

Explanation of Solution

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an chemical compound which is involved in many purposes.  The process by which ATP is released is called Glycolysis.

The process by which glucose molecule gets converted to two molecules of pyruvate which includes a series of 10 reactions is known as glycolysis.

In the process of glycolysis, each molecule of glucose which is metabolized to pyruvate forms two molecules of ATP.  Catabolic pathway is a metabolic pathway which converts complex molecules into simple molecules and produces energy.  Thus the energy production in the form of ATP undergoes a catabolic pathway.  It involves the conversion of complex molecules

Answer to Problem 25P

The primary oxidation reactions undergo a catabolic pathway.

Explanation of Solution

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an chemical compound which is involved in many purposes.  The process by which ATP is released is called Glycolysis.

The process by which glucose molecule gets converted to two molecules of pyruvate which includes a series of 10 reactions is known as glycolysis.

Catabolic pathway is a metabolic pathway which converts complex molecules into simple molecules and produces energy.  The oxidation process usually involves a catabolic pathway.

Catabolism is a process in which the smaller molecules are formed which can be oxidized to release energy.

Thus primary oxidations reactions are example for catabolic pathway.

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: N2O4 (g) 2NO2 (g) AG⁰ = 5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 1.68 atm of dinitrogen tetroxide (N204) at 148. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2O4 tend to rise or fall? x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO2? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO2? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO 2 needed to reverse it.

Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base equilibria Your answer is incorrect. • Row 2: Your answer is incorrect. • Row 3: Your answer is incorrect. • Row 6: Your answer is incorrect. 0/5 The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HF is a weak acid. acids: HF 0.1 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 0.7M HF solution. bases: 0.13 mol of HCl is added to 1.0 L of a solution that is 1.0M in both HF and KF.
