Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.86CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The storage of excess energy as glycogen or triacylglycerides should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Hydrolysis: The reaction in which chemical compound is breakdown in presence of water is termed as hydrolysis. Here water serves as one reactant.

- 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about glycolysis is FALSE? O It generates 2 molecules of ATP net per molecule of glucose. O It is located in the cytosol of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. O It requires an input of 2 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose to generate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. O It generates 2 molecules of NADH per molecule of glucose. O It liberates 2 molecules of CO2 per molecule of glucose.arrow_forwardLike many fruits, apples contain not only fructose and glucose, but also sucrose, a dimerof fructose and glucose. Synthesizing sucrose is endergonic and so not spontaneous. Onerole of ATP is to facilitate reactions that would not occur spontaneously. The threephosphate groups are electron rich and tend to repel each other. Therefore, ATP is a bitlike a compressed spring, ready to kick off one phosphate group releasing energy.Consider: Fructose + glucose --> Sucrose delta G= 6.4 kcal/mol ATP --> ADP + Pi delta G= -7.3 kcal/mol a. Draw a simple energy diagram (including the relative energy of the reactants andproducts) that shows why the sucrose synthesis reaction doesn’t occur spontaneously. b.
