Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of glucose-1-phosphate to form glucose and HPO42- and the change in the energy of the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a
Catabolism of the food takes place via a number of biochemical pathways. Some reactions may release energy while some reactions are caused due to the absorption of energy. The energy which is released by one reaction is used to derive some other reactions.

- The first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardDescribe whether each of the following substances serves primarily as an energy source, a form of stored energy, or a structural material some serve as more than one: a. cellulosec. glycogen b. sucrose, table sugard. starcharrow_forwardcreate a flow chart or diagram to illustrate the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. The starting carbohydrate molecules are starch, sucrose, lactose, glycogen, and cellulose. What will happen to these carbohydrates once we ingest them? Include the following from your flow chart or |diagram: 1) the location or site where the digestion or |absorption occurs 2) the enzymes 3) the products generated at each site or location You can create your flow chart or diagram using the smart art in your Microsoft word or you may choose to use whatever applications you have. A hand-drawn flow chart is also allowed. The task should also provide your creative interpretation.arrow_forward
- 4. How much lactic acid (C3H6O3) is produced when 225 g glucose (C6H1206) is used as substrate in the fermentation. Assuming that the sugar is completely fermented to lactic acid. The molar masses of CsH12O6 and C3HGO3 are 180.156 g/mol and 90.08 g/ml, respectively. The chemical reaction of lactic acid fermentation is shown below. C6H1206 > 2 C3H6O3arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of reduction reaction? It is the removal of electrons from an atom or molecule. They are also referred to as dehydrogenation reactions An example of which is the conversion of Pyruvic acid to Lactic acid There is a decrease in the potential energy of the atom or molecule Which cells in the body convert most of the remaining fructose and practically all of the galactose to glucose? Sertoli cells Erythrocytes Parietal cells Hepatocytes Which of the following substances can be considered as metabolic intermediates?* Water ATP Pyruvic acid Glucosearrow_forwardTake a look at this organic reaction: CH3- 0=0 C O NAD+ NADH CH₂_1-0 CH3—C−O + CO2 The reactant molecule is re-drawn in the drawing area below. Highlight in red any groups in this molecule in which carbon atoms are oxidized by the reaction. Highlight in blue any groups in which carbon atoms are reduced. If no carbon atoms are oxidized or reduced, check the box under the drawing area. _L_L- C CH₂ - No carbons are oxidized or reduced. Ćarrow_forward
- What do amino acids, fatty acids, and sugars (monosaccharides) have in common? O They are used to make lipids. O They are made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. O They are used to make proteins. O They are made of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.arrow_forwardConsider the hydrotreating of this organic substance:H2NCH2CSCH2COOH +___ H2(g) → (a) Complete a balanced chemical equation to producethe most common hydrogen compounds of N, S, andO and a saturated hydrocarbon.(b) Why is more hydrotreating needed after coking thanafter hydrocracking?arrow_forwardStarch is composed of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose consists of an unbranched continuous helical chain of a-D-glucose units connected by a-1,4-glycosidic bonds, while amylopectin consists of both continuous helical chains of glucose units linked by a-1-4-glycosidic bonds and branches of glucose units attached to the helical chains by a-1,6-glycosidic bonds. Identify the following structures, denoted A and B, as the structures of amylose or amylopectin. A Glucose monomersarrow_forward
