Chapter 23, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The equation for the given reaction is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed to different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction. 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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Describeenergy consumed vs released in reactions. Differentiate between endergonic vs exergonic reactions, anabolism vs catabolism, and coupled reactions.
Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
