Transcribed Image Text:In biological systems, enzymes are used to accelerate the rates of certain bio-
logical reactions. Glucoamylase is an enzyme that aids in the conversion of starch
to glucose (a sugar that cells use for energy). Experiments show that 1 pg mol of
glucoamylase in a 4% starch solution results in a production rate of glucose of 0.6
ug mol/(mL)(min). Determine the production rate of glucose for this system in the
units of Ib mol/(ft³)(day).

- If 100% of the free energy from the metabolism of glucose is used for the conversion of ADP to ATP, how manymolecules of ATP can be produced from each gram of glucose (mm = 180.16)?arrow_forwardThe Beutler test is used to diagnose GALT (UDP-glucose uridyltransferase) deficiency in infants. Blood from the heel is spotted onto filter paper and the spot is then subjected to an enzyme assay. Galactose 1-phosphate, NADP+ and UDP-glucose are added as substrates to the dried blood. The increase in absorbance at 340nm is measured over time which corresponds to reduction of NADP+ to NADPH . The amount of GALT activity in the blood of patients is therefore measured by stoichiometric relationship to the amount of NADPH produced from NADP+. However, GALT does not directly reduce NADP+ as you can see in the above diagram. Instead, the glucose 1-phosphate product from this reaction is shuttled into the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway by enzymes also present in RBCs. Which three (or possibly more if you must) enzymes downstream of GALT allow for quantitative correlation of a product of GALT with the appearance of NADPH?

You add glucose to both extracts at time zero, but to one (in red) you also add inorganic phosphate (added in two batches). Using a gas sensor, you monitor the CO2 generated by the two solutions over time and obtain the following data:arrow_forward
- 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_forwardPlease provide an explanation for how to work through this practice problem: Using table 12.1, calculate the free energy change for the synthesis of ATP from cAMP and inorganic phosphate.

- Two reactions are shown below. These reactions are directly coupled in cells by an enzyme called hexokinase, which is a key enzyme in glycolysis. It is generally the case that reactions that are directly coupled by enzymes share some common reactants. What is the net reaction when these two reactions are combined?
