Students have asked these similar questions
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms carry out some form of glycolysis. How does that fact support or not support the assertion that glycolysis is one of the oldest metabolic pathways?
Why does glycolysis require ATP investment on a thermodynamic and molecular level?
Which statement best describes the reason why some of the reactions of glycolysis
cannot be run in reverse in gluconeogenesis?
1)
The last reactions occur in mitochondria and reactions there can never be
reversed.
2) Glycolysis includes isomerization reactions and these can never be reversed.
3)
There are some allaşteric enzymes and allosteric enzymes can never be
reversed.
4)
Some reactions have such large negative free energy changes that they can
never be reversed under cellular conditions.

How is the isomerization of F6P back into G6P prevented?arrow_forwardIn one of the steps of glycolysis, the enzyme pyruvate kinase catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate; the phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate is transferred to ADP to form ATP during the reaction. This process is an example of: A) O ATP synthesis by substrate-level phosphorylation B) O coupling an energy releasing process to an energy requiring process C) O oxidative phosphorylation D) OB and C are correct E) OA and B are correctarrow_forward

- The last step of glycolysis converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. Several intermediates involved in the steps for the conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate via gluconeogenesis are given. Choose and place the right intermediates produced from these steps in the correct order. (Select from: Oxaloacetate, Ethanol, Pyruvate, Ketoglutarate, Phosphoenolpyruvate, Malate, Fumarate) _________ → _________ → _________ → __________ → Phosphoenolpyruvatearrow_forwardwhat metabolic process is this, and why?arrow_forwardWhich of the following about glycolysis ARE/IS correct? (choose all that apply) a) During glycolysis, a Cys residue on an enzyme works as a nucleophile to attack a carbonyl group on a substrate. b) The net result of a single glycolysis run on one molecule of glucose creates two molecules of pyruvate and 2 ATP c) If you label C3 and C4 in glucose, after it is converted to lactate, you can't find any labeled carbons. please explain your answer(s)arrow_forward
- In the living cell, free energy made from one reaction can be used to drive another in an energetically unfavorable direction, provided the two reactions have a common intermediate (this is termed the principle of common intermediates). Example: In glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate; in gluconeogenesis, pyruvate is converted into glucose. However, the actual ΔG for the formation of pyruvate from glucose is about -84 kJ/mol under typical cellular conditions. Most of the decrease in free energy in glycolysis takes place in three essentially irreversible steps catalyzed by, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase. Use one of the 3 opposing reactions (in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis) to demonstrate the PRINCIPLE OF COMMON INTERMEDIATESarrow_forwardCellular respiration is a metabolic process that breaks down glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Oxygen is an essential molecule to efficiently divert the glucose into an energy-rich molecules needed to sustain activities of the cell. Hence, carbon dioxide and water are the end-products of cellular respiration. The overall process can be refined into three main metabolic stages namely (1) glycolysis, (2) tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), and (3) oxidative phosphorylation. In plant cells, the enzymes that catalyze the individual steps involved in respiration and energy conservation are located in highly organized compartment called mitochondrion. In this laboratory activity, you will use the germinated mung beans (Vigna radiata) to demonstrate what happens to the stored sugar in the seed upon its utilization during cellular respiration. At the end of the experiment, you are expected to identify what are the different factors that affect cellular respiration.arrow_forwardCyanide is a highly toxic molecule. It bonds to a cytochrome in the electron transport chain located in the mitochondria, rendering the electron transport chain useless. The ingestion of cyanide, therefore, results in death due to which of the following? a) Starvation, due to an inability to create glucose. b) Build up of lactic acid. c) Inability to take in oxygen through the lungs. d) Cellular death from lack of energy.arrow_forward
