Chapter 22.1, Problem 6MI
Summary Introduction

Pyruvate is one of the key intermediates in several metabolic pathways that occur throughout the cell. It is a conjugate base. It contains three carbon molecules with a ketone functional group and a carboxylic acid group. In the presence of oxygen, it supplies energy to cells via citric acid cycle and produces lactate through fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Select the correct statements about cellular respiration (select all that apply) 1) Chemical energy in glucose is transformed to the form of ATP 2)The over all equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP 3)Cellular respiration takes place in the ribosomes 4) The phases include glycolysis, the kraft cycle, and the electron transport 5) The overall equation for cellular respiration is glucose + oxygen —> carbon monoxide + water + ADP 6) The phases include glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain 7) The breakdown of ATP drives the synthesis of glucose
plz explain in details.  Organisms must do tasks in order to survive. This work requires either light for photosynthesis or the chemical potential energy of organic molecules as an energy input. Explain the necessity for energy in living organisms and provide two (2) examples. Explain the oxidative phosphorylation process, particularly the involvement of oxygen. Discuss the generation of a low yield of ATP from anaerobic respiration and the formation of lactate in mammals.
Chemolithotrophs meet their energy needs by oxidizing organic food molecules.   True False Which of the following events does not occur during the energy-investment phase of glycolysis?   Hexokinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate.   Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.   Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase cleaves Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into two different three-carbon sugars.   Dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with the help of the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.
