Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of pyruvate from glucose should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
A reaction consisting of series of biochemical reactions which releases stored chemical energy from the end product of glycolysis (acetyl CoA). It is termed as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle or Kreb's cycle. Citric acid cycle takes place in mitochondria.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of acetyl CoA from pyruvate should be predicted.

(c)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of 2 molecules of acetyl CoA from glucose should be predicted.

(d)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of 4 molecules of carbon dioxide from 2 molecules of acetyl CoA should be predicted.

- 5. A solution of sucrose is fermented in a vessel until the evolution of CO2 ceases. Then, the product solution is analyzed and found to contain, 45% ethanol; 5% acetic acid; and 15% glycerin by weight. If the original charge is 500 kg, evaluate; e. The ratio of sucrose to water in the original charge (wt/wt). f. Moles of CO2 evolved. g. Maximum possible amount of ethanol that could be formed. h. Conversion efficiency. i. Per cent excess of excess reactant. Reactions: Inversion reaction: C12H22O11 + H2O →2C6H12O6 Fermentation reaction: C6H12O6 →→2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Formation of acetic acid and glycerin: C6H12O6 + C2H5OH + H₂O→ CH3COOH + 2C3H8O3arrow_forwardShow work. don't give Ai generated solution.
