The oxidation of sugar molecules by the cell takes place according to the general reaction C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. which of the following statements are correct? explain your answers.
all of the energy produced is in the form of heat.
none of the produced energy is in the form of heat.
The energy is produced by a process that involves the oxidation of carbon atoms.
The reaction supplies the cell with essential water.
in cells, the reaction takes place in more than one step.
many steps in the oxidation of sugar molecules involve reaction with oxygen gas.
some organisms carry out the reverse reaction.
some cells that grow in the absence of O2 produce CO2.
In hepatocytes, the enzyme glucokinase catalyzes the ATP-coupled phosphorylation of glucose. Glucokinase binds both ATP
and glucose, forming a glucose-ATP-enzyme complex. The enzyme then transfers the phosphoryl group directly from ATP
to glucose.
Select the advantages of phosphoryl group transfer compared to hydrolysis and subsequent phosphorylation?
Glucokinase increases the transition state energy, favoring glucose phosphorylation.
Reaction intermediates do not need to be present in excess.
The process takes advantage of the high phosphoryl group transfer potential of ATP.
ATP hydrolysis is thermodynamically unfavorable compared to group transfer.
Name 3 nonrenewable sources of energy. In your own words, please discuss at least 3 pros and 3 cons of each,
