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, but 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.
