Question
Chapter 6, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantage of using ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) as a common energy source over the different bunch of food molecules.
Introduction: ATP is the energy currency of the cell which provides the required amount of energy to the cell for various purposes. The cell uses ATP as a common energy source instead of using a different bunch of food molecules.

What is the enzymatic activity of sodium-potassium ATPase (pump)?
binds to and hydrolyzes ATP; binds to 3 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 2 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasm
binds to and hydrolyzes ATP; binds to 2 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 3 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasm
binds to and hydrolyzes GTP; binds to 3 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases into nucleus; binds to 2 K+ inside cell and releases into lysosome
binds to and hydrolyzes 3 ATP; binds to 1 Na+ in cytoplasm and releases outside cell; binds to 1 K+ outside cell and releases into cytoplasm
In hepatocytes, the enzyme glucokinase catalyzes the ATP-coupled phosphorylation of glucose. Glucokinase binds both ATP
and glucose, forming a glucose-ATP-enzyme complex. The enzyme then transfers the phosphoryl group directly from ATP
to glucose.
Select the advantages of phosphoryl group transfer compared to hydrolysis and subsequent phosphorylation?
ATP hydrolysis is thermodynamically unfavorable compared to group transfer.
Glucokinase increases the transition state energy, favoring glucose phosphorylation.
The process takes advantage of the high phosphoryl group transfer potential of ATP.
Reaction intermediates do not need to be present in excess.
