Question
Chapter 6, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To explain: Why the daily amount of niacin and riboflavin requirement is very less in comparison to glucose.
Introduction:
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is used as a component of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or FADH (reduced FAD) and niacin is an important component of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) or NADH (reduced NAD+).

- A group of researchers are interested in producing hydrogen gas from microbial cells. They want to know the maximum theoretical yield of H2 per molecule of glucose. Assuming that a glucose molecule fed to a cell is directly converted to glucose-6-phosphate(G6P) and undergoes the pentose phosphate pathway. Calculate how many molecules of NADPH can be obtained from this pathway along Co2 and H+.arrow_forwardThe concentration of glucose in your circulatory system is maintained near 5.0 mM by the actions of the pancreatic hormones glucagon and insulin. Glucose is imported into cells by protein transporters that are highly specific for binding glucose. Inside the liver cells the imported glucose is rapidly phosphorylated to give glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P). This is an ATP-dependent process that consumes 1 mol ATP per mol of glucose. Given the steady-state intracellular concentrations below, calculate the theoretical maximum concentration of G-6-P inside a liver cell at 37 °C, pH = 7.2 when the glucose concentration outside the cell (i.e., [glucoseloutside) is 5.0 mM: ATP = 4.7 mM; ADP = 0.15 mM; P, = 6.1 mM For: ATP + H,O ADP + P + H* AG" = -30.5 kJ/mol and G-6-P + H,0 -→ Glucose + P AG" = -13.8 kJ/mol The glucose phosphorylation reaction is ATP + glucosenside » ADP + glucose-6-phosphate + H+arrow_forwardThe number of calories used during physical exercise is greater than the number of calories used for the movements themselves.

As part of a thermogenesis program, UCP1 directly reduces the proton gradient driving oxidative phosphorylation.

What is the main reason LDH is so important to the muscle under these conditions? It produces one mole of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation. It resupplies NAD+ to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. It decreases pH thus decreasing the dissociation rate of oxygen from hemoglobin It produces NADH for energy while converting pyruvate into lactate. It removes excess lactic acid from the muscle to create pyruvate.
