Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction is favorable or not is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction using curved arrow symbolism is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a chemical reaction which takes place when water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. In case of biological hydrolysis, the cleavage of biomolecules takes place in such a way that the larger molecules get break down to smaller ones. The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, they are actually a single chemical reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given reaction can be used to synthesize ATP from ADP is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, but they are actually a single chemical reaction.

- rank in order that releases most to least amount of energyarrow_forwardIn one of the reactions in the citric acid cycle, which provides energy for ATP synthesis, succinic acid is converted to fumaric acid: C4H6 O4 + C4H4O4 + 2H succinic acid fumaric acid The reaction is accompanied by a coenzyme, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD): FAD + 2H → FADH2 ▼ Part A Indicate whether succinic acid and FAD are oxidized or reduced. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. Reset Help oxidized The reaction of FAD involves the of hydrogen; therefore FAD is loss The reaction of succinic acid involves the of hydrogen; therefore succinic acid is addition reducedarrow_forwardTo which of the six major classes of enzymes does the enzyme that catalyzes each of the following reactions belong? a. An L isomer is converted to a D isomer. a. A phosphate group is transferred from one substrate to another. b. An amide linkage is hydrolyzed. c. Hydrolysis of a carbohydrate to monosaccharides occurs.arrow_forward

- Explain why triacylglycerides are more efficient at energy storage (~ 9 Calories/g) compared to the two othermacronutrient classes, carbohydrates, and proteins (each ~ 4 Calories/g). Shown below is a representativeexample of each for comparison.arrow_forwardATP Which of the following is true about ATP? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. la ATP forms in the citric acid cycle. b The formation of ATP releases energy. ATP reacts to help digest biomolecules. It is formed by adding phosphate to ADP.arrow_forwardWhich statement BEST describes why proteins are metabolized when calories are severely reduced? Actually, fats are metabolized during a starvation diet, not proteins. Proteins contain amino acids, which fuel the brain. Glycogen is a type of protein. There is a metabolic pathway in which glucose can be made from protein.arrow_forward
