Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The equation for a coupled reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a chemical reaction which takes place when water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. In case of biological hydrolysis, the cleavage of biomolecules takes place in such a way that the larger molecules get break down to smaller ones. The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, but they are actually a single chemical reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The change in energy of the coupled reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, but they are actually a single chemical reaction.

- When the following reaction reached equilibrium the concentration of glucose 1-phosphate is 34mM, and the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is 190mM. At standard temperatures and pressure, calculate the Keq and the ΔGo' glucose 6-phosphate <---(phosphoglucoisomerase)---> glucose 1-phosphate Keq= ΔGo' =arrow_forwardShort answer questions. You must show work indicating production or consumption of molecules such as ATP or NADH in the various pathways involved in these questions. Consider that a molecule of alanine can be converted to pyruvate by an oxidation reaction that produces one NADH. If the liver is to make a molecule of glucose from alanine, how many molecules of alanine are required? How many ATP equivalents are required?arrow_forwardGlycerol kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol from ATP, yielding glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP. The standard state free energy for hydrolysis of glycerol-3- phosphate is -9.20 kj/mol and for the hydrolysis of ATP is-30.5 kJ/mol.
