The molecular formula of
Concept introduction:
In the bond line formula, the labels for individual carbon atoms are omitted. The bonds between carbon atoms are shown by lines. Thus, each line has one carbon atom at each end unless some other atom is shown.
The electrons shared by the atom are counted, and if the octet of the atom is incomplete, then the number of electrons required to complete the octet are determined. These electrons are shown as unshared electrons pairs.
To determine the molecular formula, the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms is counted. Other atoms, if any, are counted and written in alphabetical order.
The number of atoms of each element is written as a subscript.

- 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_forwardAlthough the ATP-ADP reaction is the principle energy shuttle in metabolic pathways, many other examples of coupled reactions exist. glutamic acid + NH3 glutamine + H2O, ΔGo = 14 kJ. Can be coupled with the acetyl phosphate reaction shown CH3COOPO3H2 + H2O CH3COOH + H3PO4, ΔGo = -46.9 kJ a. Calculate ΔGo for the overall process.arrow_forwardGive an account of the total ATP yield when I molecule of glucose is converted to carbon dioxide and water?arrow_forward

(Draw the pathway including enzymes and intermediates, and choose one of shuttle systems and show your calculations)arrow_forward
- 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_forwardThe Calvin cycle requires ______ and ______ from the light reactions in order to operate. electrons...
