Effects of Changing Metabolite Concentrations on Glycolysis In an erythrocyte undergoing glycolysis what would be the effect of a sudden increase in the concentration of a. AÎ¤P? b. AMP? c. fructose-1.6-bisphosphate? d. fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate? e. citrate? f. glucose-6-phospthate?
Chemistry Most of the reactions in gluconeogenesis are the simple reversal of the ‘forward’ reactions used in glycolysis. However, formation of PEP in gluconeogenesis from pyruvate by pyruvate kinase is not feasible because the DG of this reaction is too unfavourable. Describe the source(s) of the energy used in gluconeogenesis to drive the production of PEP.
Chemistry 1. Explain why gluconeogenesis is NOT just a reversal of glycolysis.2. Briefly but comprehensively discuss the purpose of the hexose monphosphate shunt, and explain the relationship to this pathway and the aetiology of gout. please include pictures if you can. Thank you!
Explain the purpose of the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle (Don’t worry about the mechanism, just the purpose of the shuttle. Just one sentence here!). Suppose a cell could only rely on the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle and not the malate-aspartate shuttle, how would that affect the amount of ATP that could be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose in that cell? How would this change the amount of ATP that could be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of palmitate in this cell?
Energy production pathway in targeted by drugs in the malignant (cancerous) cells to control an X cancer type. Use your speculation and tell targeting and destroying which one energy-producing agent of the oxidative phosphorylation will be most effective in blocking most of the energy and why?
β-oxidation A) is the second step in the oxidation of glucose. B) is a process used to oxidize fatty acids. C) occurs in the cytoplasm. D) is a process used to digest some polysaccharides. E) lengthens fatty acids by addition of two carbons.
Chemistry Explain how living organisms may use the differences between fatty acid synthesis and degradative pathways to regulate these pathways. (6) Use the differences between fatty acid oxidation and synthesis to show that these two processes can be regulated using location and intermediates involved in their reactions. (4) Using the regulation of fatty acid synthesis as an example, explain the differences between short and long term regulation in synthesis pathways. (6).

Understanding the Stoichiometry of Cholesterol Synthesis Write a Balanced, stoichiometric reaction for the synthesis of cholesterol from acetyl-CoA.
Glycolysis After digestion of carbohydrates, glucose enters the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm, glycolysis takes place where glucose-6-phosphate (a 6C-molecule) is split into two 3C molecules of gly-3-P, producing 2 pyruvates. The two pyruvates are then converted to two acetyl-CoA and enter the mitochondria where the citric acid occurs. 1.The conversion from glu-6-P to fru-6-P involves isomerization, why? Please answer
