(a)
To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “Although the reactions of gluconeogenesis are simply the reverse of the reactions of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis requires more energy than glycolysis releases.”
Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon sources.
(b)
To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “because glycolysis involves the partial oxidation of glucose, it cannot proceed in the absence of oxygen”.
Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular
(c)
To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “ATP is ideal for the energy currency of the cell because it has most negative standard free energy change of hydrolysis of any phosphorylated compound in the cell”.
Introduction: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic system. It provides energy for carrying out various processes in living organisms. It is a driving fuel of the cell. The ATP in the cell is stored as ATP pool. The energy system comprises of high energy phosphates are called the phosphagen system
(d)
To determine: The true statement for the given false statement “because energy production is so important in the cell, glycolytic enzymes function solely to degrade glucose”.
Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. The enzymes involved in the glycolysis process are called the glycolytic enzymes.

Identify the steps that are amphibolic, taking place in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Also, identify the regulated steps and what compounds act as regulators.arrow_forwardI'm confused about glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Question: What is the function of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase? Is it because of -> The incorporation of a phosphate from ATP and reduction of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or ->The incorporation of phosphate from inorganic phosphate and reduction of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. or -> The incorporation of phosphate from inorganic phosphate and oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphatearrow_forward
- You are running. Glycogen is broken down into glucose-6-phosphate which goes through the glycolytic, citric acid cycle and electron transport pathways and is turned into ATP. This process is called: aerobic respiration beta-oxidation gluconeogenesis ketoacidosisarrow_forwardThis is the ATP accounting question. You are limited to the carbon in the following molecules: One xylulose 5-phosphate, One glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, One sedoheptulose 7-phosphate, 1 Oxaloacetate, and 3 carbon dioxide A) Disregard regulation completely regarding pathway activity, using only the enzymes of glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and citric acid cycle, what is the maximum ATP one can generate with these molecules? B) Disregard regulation completely regarding pathway activity, using only the enzymes of glycolysis, Calvin- Benson-Bassham cycle, and citric acid cycle, what is the maximum ATP one can generate with these molecules (in this instance only, you also are given 3 ATP and note that you do NOT need to regenerate substrates for rubisco once you get through this enzyme).arrow_forwardSelect the best answer. What pathways generate reduced cofactors (NADH or FADH2) for the Electron Transport Chain to use? 1. Glycolysis 2. Gluconeogenesis 3. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Reaction 4. Citric Acid Cycle 5.

- a- During intense exercise the transformation glucose to lactate causes very less ATP production compared to aerobic glycolysis. Explain, does anaerobic glycolysis lead to waste of energy in muscle? b-Glycogen phosphorylase enzyme catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. Describe, glycogen metabolism regulation through glycogen phosphorylase.arrow_forwardLong explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice. a. Anaerobic glycolysis can produce ATP at a much faster rate than aerobic oxidative phosphorylation. I. True II. False b. Phosphorylases and phosphatases catalyze the same reaction, the removal of a phosphate group. I. True II. Falsearrow_forwardDraw Gluconeogenesis. Please make sure to state all the enzymes and co-factors for each step of the pathway.arrow_forward
- True or False c. Glycogen synthase catalyzes the synthesis of α-1,6 linkages. True False d. The activated form of glucose is added to the non-reducing end of glycogen molecules. True Falsearrow_forwardNumber the oxygens(1-6) in any order. Trace the path of this glucose through pathways of glycolysis and the TCA cycle and determine which step of the pathways each oxygen is removed from the process.arrow_forwardLong explanations are NOT NEEDED. Answer only d and e. ATP accounting. Consider 1 molecule of the sucrose (monomeric units: glucose and fructose) that will undergo complete oxidation. -Number of pyruvate molecules after glycolysis is 4.-Net ATP produced in glycolysis only (via substrate-level phosphorylation) is 2.-Number of NADH produced using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is 1.
