Question
-Assume that all three carbon atoms in glycerol are labeled with 14C and the labeled glycerol wasinjected into the skeletal muscles of a rat (assume that the labeled glycerol cannot be transported to the liver through the blood stream). You found out that all 6 carbon atoms in glucose were labeled with 14C inthe liver. Please calculate the net consumption of the number of high-energy phosphates for theformation of one radioisotope-labeled glucose molecule

- The Nutrition Facts label on most food products shows % daily values based on a food energy requirement of 8,360 kJ (2,000 kcal) at normal resting state. a) Assuming that the efficiency of converting food energy to ATP is 50%, calculate the mass of ATP (in kg) that is harvested daily by the human body from 8,360 kJ of food energy. A total of 30.5 kJ of energy is needed to synthesize one mole of ATP under standard conditions. The molar mass of ATP is 505 g/mol. b) For an average 68-kg (150 lbs.) human adult, calculate the % mass of extracted ATP (from your answer in 2a) relative to body weight.arrow_forwardIf the glucose molecule was labeled with 14C at the C-3, which carbon atom in pyruvate would you expect to find labeled? Select the structure of pyruvate showing its appropriate structure at pH 7.4.

- At equilibrium, D-galactose exists almost exclusively in its α and β pyranose forms. Aqueous solutions are freshly prepared for the α and β forms, both at the same concentration and temperature. The solution of the α form rotatesplane-polarized light +150.7°, whereas the solution of the β form rotates the light +52.8°. Over time, both solutions have the same measured rotation of +80.2°. How much of the equilibrated solution does each form account for?arrow_forwardA research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction: HAPPY-SAD The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme.
