Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Explain the ATP demanding steps of glycolysis of glucose.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis is a biochemical reaction involving conversion of glucose into pyruvate along with the fixed amount of energy in the form of ATPs. Energetics of glycolysis shows various steps of glycolysis consume energy and on the other hand, few steps release the energy.
(b)
Interpretation:
The step in which glycolysis yield ATP directlt should be determined.

Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry
- What range of concentrations for glucose in blood is considered a normal fasting level?arrow_forwardThe net yield of ATP when 18 glucose molecules are metabolized during the process of glycolysis is a) 36 b) 72 c) 144 d) 216arrow_forwardGive an account of the total ATP yield when I molecule of glucose is converted to carbon dioxide and water?arrow_forward
- Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the addition (or removal) of a phosphate group to ( or from) a substance. ATP is also involved. How many kinases are in glycolysis? Name them.arrow_forwardOxidation of one molecule of glucose yields more molecules of ATP than the oxidation of one molecule of lauric acid. Is it true or falsearrow_forwardIf sugar must be broken down to release energy through cellular respiration, why is ATP needed in the process? Explain.arrow_forward
- >One of the steps in fat metabolism is the reaction of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) with ATP to yield glycerol 1-phosphate. Write the reaction, and draw the structure of glycerol 1-phosphate.arrow_forwardThe name of the process in which glucose 6-phosphate is converted to glycogen is a) gluconeogenesis b) glycogenesis c) glycogenolysis ) glycolysis Que A Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer.arrow_forwardAnaerobic glycolysis (i.e., lactic acid fermentation) produces pyruvate that is then converted to lactate through the activity of lactate dehydrogenase. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate would seem to be an unnecessary step, since this process does not result in any further release of energy. Explain the necessity for the production of lactate as the endpoint for anaerobic glycolysis.arrow_forward
- Please answer themarrow_forwardGlucose 6-phosphate is in a pivotal position in metabolism. Depending on conditions, glucose 6-phosphate follows one of several pathways. Under what conditions do the following occur?(a) Glycolysis(b) Hydrolysis to free glucose(c) Pentose phosphate pathway(d) Glycogenesisarrow_forwardGlucagon secretion increases (A) After a carbohydrate-rich meal (B) After a fat-rich meal (C) When blood glucose is high (D) When blood glucose is lowarrow_forward
