Question
Chapter 8, Problem 68TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), and give a reason as to why it has a high transfer potential of phosphoryl group.
Introduction:
PEPis the product of the glycolysis process in which glucose gets converted into pyruvate. PEP has high phosphoryl group. It donates its phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to produce two molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and itself gets converted to pyruvate.

_____________ pathways can function in both anabolic and catabolic processes.
Question 4.
Diabetes mellitus possesses a serious health challenge worldwide and there has been an
increased awareness for self-monitoring and point of care testing. The development of self-
monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is probably the most important advance in controlling
diabetes since the discovery of insulin.
a) Dextrostix, the first glucose meter was invented by Ernie Adams. Briefly discuss.
b) There are three principles of enzymatic reactions, utilized by current glucose meters.
Compare and briefly discuss these three principles.
A metabolic pathway that functions in both anabolic andcatabolic processes is called an _____________________pathway.
