Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of glucose-1-phosphate to form glucose and HPO42- and the change in the energy of the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The term hydrolysis refers to a
Catabolism of the food takes place via a number of biochemical pathways. Some reactions may release energy while some reactions are caused due to the absorption of energy. The energy which is released by one reaction is used to derive some other reactions.

- Why does Glycolysis only release a small amount of the total available energy that can be harvested from glucose?arrow_forwardAlthough catabolism of a glucose molecule eventually produces a lot of energy, the first step uses up energy. Explain why this step is necessary.arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
- Which nutrient provides energy in its most concentrated form?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the oxidation of glucose by CuO if the compound is oxidized completely to CO2 and H2O.arrow_forwardDefine fermentation. Name the enzyme which converts(a) milk into curd (yogurt)(b) Cane sugar into glucose and fructose(c) glucose into ethanolarrow_forward
- In carbohydrate metabolism, the hexose monophosphate shunt is used for: Question 67 options: A) aerobic glycolysis B) anaerobic glycolysis C) protect RBC's from oxidative damage & are a source of energy D) glycogenolysisarrow_forwardFrom what you learned about monosaccharides in Chapter 20and phosphates in Chapter 23 : (a) Draw the structure of glucose 6-phosphate. (b) Using structures, write the equation for the hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate to glucose and HPO 42−.arrow_forwardWhat sugar units will be formed after the hydrolysis sucrose? A. 2 glucose units B. glucose and galactose C. glucose and fructose D. many units of glucosearrow_forward
- Anaerobic glycolysis (i.e., lactic acid fermentation) produces pyruvate that is then converted to lactate through the activity of lactate dehydrogenase. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate would seem to be an unnecessary step, since this process does not result in any further release of energy. Explain the necessity for the production of lactate as the endpoint for anaerobic glycolysis.arrow_forwardWhen we break down sucrose in our bodies through the process of digestion, what are hte resulting products? glucose and fructose galactose and fructose fructose and lactose glucose and galactosearrow_forwardExplain 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_forward
