(a)
Interpretation:
Standard free energy change for the pyruvate kinase reaction should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.
The energy which is used to do work at given pressure and at given temperature especially at 1 bar and 298K respectively is called standard free energy change.
(b)
Interpretation:
Equilibrium constant for the given reaction should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.
When the reactants and products don’t have any change in the particular time, then it is called equilibrium constant. It is denoted as K
(c)
Interpretation:
Ratio of

- 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. AΤP? b. AMP? c. fructose-1.6-bisphosphate? d. fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate? e. citrate? f. glucose-6-phospthate?arrow_forwardUnderstanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forward
