Chapter 3, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The amount of free energy change involved in transporting 10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cellshould be calculated if the concentration of glucose inside a cell is 0.1 mM and the cell is suspended in a glucose solution of 0.01 mM.

Concept introduction:

The standard Gibbs free energy change is related to concentration of all the species involved in the reaction as follows:

ΔG = ΔG0 + RT ln Q

Here, ΔGo is standard Gibbs free energy change

ΔG is Gibbs free energy change

R is Universal gas constant

T is temperature

Q is reaction quotient

For movement of ions and species in and outside the cell, Gibbs free energy change can be calculated as follows:

ΔG = RT ln [ C ]in[ C ]out

Here, [ C ]in and [ C ]out is concentration of species inside and outside the cell respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The amount of free energy change involved in transporting 10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cell should be calculated if the intracellular and extracellular concentrations were 1 mM and 10 mM.

Concept introduction:

The standard Gibbs free energy change is related to concentration of all the species involved in the reaction as follows:

ΔG = ΔG0 + RT ln Q

Here, ΔGo is standard Gibbs free energy change

ΔG is Gibbs free energy change

R is Universal gas constant

T is temperature

Q is reaction quotient

For movement of ions and species in and outside the cell, Gibbs free energy change can be calculated as follows:

ΔG = RT ln [ C ]in[ C ]out

Here, [ C ]in and [ C ]out is concentration of species inside and outside the cell respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number moles of ATP should be calculated.

Biochemistry Question. Please help solve. Thank you! Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.
Biochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!
Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.   You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.   After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer.   Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
