Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The products that result from the hydrolysis of the phosphate ester of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) are to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Phosphate esters upon hydrolysis produce the phosphate group and the alkyl group.

The stability of the reactants and products determines the extent of the hydrolysis reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

It is to be explain why the hydrolysis of PEP releases much more energy than the hydrolysis of an ordinary phosphate ester.

Concept Introduction:

The energy released during a hydrolysis reaction depends on the stability of the products formed in the hydrolysis reaction. More stable the products formed, more is the energy released.
