Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of pyruvate from glucose should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
A reaction consisting of series of biochemical reactions which releases stored chemical energy from the end product of glycolysis (acetyl CoA). It is termed as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle or Kreb's cycle. Citric acid cycle takes place in mitochondria.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of acetyl CoA from pyruvate should be predicted.

(c)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP molecules formed by formation of 2 molecules of acetyl CoA from glucose should be predicted.

- 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_forwardWhy is Step 3 of glycolysis called the commitment step?arrow_forwardWhy is the conversion of lactic acid from the blood into glucose in the liver in an organism’s best interest?arrow_forward
