Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Distribution of 14C in the pyruvate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis is also termed as Embden-Meyerhof pathway. It involves the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. During this reaction, two molecules of ATP are used up in the preparatory phase. Further, in the payoff phase, two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH are produced.
(b)
Interpretation:
Specific activity of pyruvate formation should be determined.
