(a)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ATP and AMP.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ADP and GDP.
Concept introduction: Nucleotide is the basic unit required for the formation of nucleic acid which is required for completion of various metabolic reactions. The basic structure of nucleotide consists of three units: nitrogen-containing base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The nitrogen-containing base and pentose sugar are collectively known as a nucleoside. A nucleoside unit attached to a phosphate group together forms a nucleotide unit. ATP, AMP, ADP, and GDP are examples of nucleotides present in the human body.

- The first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardWhy are so many different enzymes needed?arrow_forwardWhat is the function of the enzyme lactase?arrow_forward
- The oxidation of 1 mol of glucose supplies enough meta-bolic energy to form 36 mol of ATP. Oxidation of 1 mol of a typ-ical dietary fat like tristearin (C₅₇H₁₁₆O₆) yields enough energyto form 458 mol of ATP. (a) How many molecules of ATP canform per gram of glucose? (b) Per gram of tristearin?arrow_forwardAnaerobic respiration occurs in the _____________ of oxygen and produces _____________ energy (ATP) for the cell than aerobic respiration. A. absence, more B. absence, less C. presence, more D. presence, lessarrow_forwardCells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) asa source of energy. The conversion of ATP toADP has a standard free-energy change of -30.5 kJ/mol. Ifall the free energy from the metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)---->6 CO2(g)- + 6 H2O(l) goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles ofATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?arrow_forward
- The primary use of ingested proteins in the body is to _____. be broken down into amino acids that are used to build proteins and nucleic acids within the body be broken down to release energy and the unused components are recycled to build new proteins within the body interact with signaling molecules to trigger the building of muscle fibers be converted to starches or sugars, which are more readily accessible forms of energyarrow_forwardConsider the reaction in producing wine: C6H12O6(aq)——-> 2CO2(aq). When zymase is added to glucose, the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide increases in a shorter period of time. What is the role of zymase in this reaction? a. Reactant b. Enthalpy c.
