(a)

Summary Introduction

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)

Summary Introduction

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 metabolism.

(c)

Summary Introduction

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)

Summary Introduction

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.

Fill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.
Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice. ***kind of in hurry so having the answer asap would greatly be appreciated, thank you :))   a. The first step in the pay-off phase of glycolysis is the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.  i. True ii. False   b. Phosphofructokinase-1, the major flux-controlling enzyme of glycolysis is inhibited by _______. i. AMP ii. ATP iii. ADP iv. phosphoenol pyruvate
No need to explain; simply provide the correct answer to the following questions. Name the process that describes the metabolism of glucose and produces the end products pyruvate or lactate? True or False- in glycogenolysis, phosphorylation activates glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase What molecules does the glycolysis process produce? Which statements are valid? a. (fibers are the same as starches) b. (consuming soluble fibers is beneficial for those suffering from constipation) c. (consuming insoluble fibers is beneficial for those with watery stools) True or False- Gluconeogenesis is a reversal of the process of glycolysis
