Describe how cells obtain their energy to do work via ATP. Start with the carbohydrates eaten in a meal and has 3 major steps. For each step write where the step occurs, what molecules go in to each step, what molecules come out of each step, and if each step is areobic or anaerobic?
Assume a cell is respiring aerobically and is using glucose as an energy source. What is the ultimate fate of each of the 6 carbon atoms in a glucose molecule that begins the aerobic pathway (i.e., what happens to each of the carbons and where does it happen)?
How many ATP are made from one (1) molecule of glucose during anaerobic cellular respiration (AKA fermentation)?
Consider the reaction: Galactose 1-phosphate + UDP-glucose → UDP-galactose + glucose 1-phosphate Which pairing correctly matches the enzyme class and Enzyme Commission number for the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction? translocase; 2 translocase; 7 transferase; 2 transferase; 7 isomerase; 5
Stearic acid is an 18-carbon fatty acid. If a single molecular of stearic acid is within the cytosol of the cells: Describe the process by which stearic acid would be metabolised, beginning the molecule in the cytosol of the cell, ending with the creation of ATP, and assuming the cell has sufficient oxygen for all reactions to take place Showing all working, calculate how many ATP molecules could be generated from a single molecule of stearic acid in the cytosol of the cell

How many ATP are produced by a single 10 carbon-long fatty acid? Consider: where beta-hydrolysis occurs & how many NADH & FADH2 are made Assume: each NADH produces 2.5 ATP, each FADH2 produces 1.5 ATP Show your work
Like many fruits, apples contain not only fructose and glucose, but also sucrose, a dimerof fructose and glucose. Synthesizing sucrose is endergonic and so not spontaneous. Onerole of ATP is to facilitate reactions that would not occur spontaneously. The threephosphate groups are electron rich and tend to repel each other. Therefore, ATP is a bitlike a compressed spring, ready to kick off one phosphate group releasing energy.Consider: Fructose + glucose --> Sucrose delta G= 6.4 kcal/mol ATP --> ADP + Pi delta G= -7.3 kcal/mol a. Draw a simple energy diagram (including the relative energy of the reactants andproducts) that shows why the sucrose synthesis reaction doesn’t occur spontaneously. b. How could having these two reactions occur at the same time help with sucroseproduction? c. Draw the energy diagram that shows all the reactants and products for the combinedreactions. d. What is delta G for the combined reactions? e. Name a few of the biological processes in the body that…
