Chapter 24.5, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the reaction between glycerol and ATP results in the formation of glycerol-3-phosphate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Glycerol:

The catabolism of fat which actually contain 3 RCOOR groups is hydrolyzed and forms glycerol and long chain unbranched carboxylic acid with even number of carbons.

Glycerol is polyol compound which is actually the base of all lipids.

Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.

Kinase: It is enzyme which serves as a catalyst in reaction of transferring phosphoryl group into the substrate.

Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How much energy is released as ATP from the complete oxidation of stearic acid (CH3(CH2)16COOH)?
What is the name of the enzyme that converts glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate?
Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylation
