Chapter 21, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One reason for the irreversibility of the in vivo phosphorolysis should be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Le Chatelier’s principle is applied to the phosphorolysis reaction to identify the reason for the irreversibility of the in vivo phosphorolysis.

Le Chatelier’s principle simply states that when a constraint such as a change in concentration is applied to an equilibrated system (e.g. a reversible reaction), the equilibrium shifts to minimize the applied constraint.

70 gram lactose working under aerobic conditions. First calculate the total amount of energy units (ATP, GTP, FADH2, NADH) obtained from its degradation to CO2 and H2O. Convert this value to total ATP units.Show your work in detail at each reaction step. Which energy units are obtained after each reaction step.
Less energetic electrons. Why are electrons carried by FADH 2 not as energy rich as those carried by NADH? What is the consequence of this difference?
Tracing glucose. Glucose labeled with 14 C at C-6 is added to a solution containing the enzymes and cofactors of the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. What is the fate of the radioactive label?
