Interpretation Introduction

(a) Label subpart

Interpretation:

Rationale for comparing the activities of PFK (phosphofructokinase) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase enzymes.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of one molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules are yielded in this reaction. Moreover, it is divided into two phases, preparatory phase and payoff phase. In the preparatory phase, 2 ATP molecules are used, and in payoff phase, 4 ATP molecules are yielded.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
ATP yield. Each of the following molecules is processed by glycolysis to lactate. How much ATP is generated from each molecule?
Less energetic electrons. Why are electrons carried by FADH2FADH2 not as energy rich as those carried by NADH? What is the consequence of this difference?
Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase . The enzyme has 3 alpha-beta and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains change in membrane potential=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. . What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?  What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
