(a)

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.

Be sure to include any relevant stereochemistry in the product structure. + SK F Br + (b) In which solvent would this reaction proceed the fastest (Circle one) Methanol Acetone (c) Imagine that you are working for a chemical company and it was your job to perform a similar reaction to the one above, with the exception of the S atom in this reaction being replaced by an O atom. During the reaction, you observe the formation of three separate molecules instead of the single molecule obtained above. What is the likeliest other products that are formed? Draw them in the box provided.
3. For the reactions below, draw the arrows corresponding to the transformations and draw in the boxes the reactants or products as indicated. Note: Part A should have arrows drawn going from the reactants to the middle structure and the arrows on the middle structure that would yield the final structure. For part B, you will need to draw in the reactant before being able to draw the arrows corresponding to product formation. A. B. Rearrangement ΘΗ
2. Draw the arrows required to make the following reactions occur. Please ensure your arrows point from exactly where you want to exactly where you want. If it is unclear from where arrows start or where they end, only partial credit will be given. Note: You may need to draw in lone pairs before drawing the arrows. A. B. H-Br 人 C Θ CI H Cl Θ + Br O
