Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction of fructose with ATP is to be determined using the curved arrow symbolism.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of glucose with ATP is to be determined using the curved arrow symbolism.
Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed to different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction.

- ATP Synthase in plants has the same basic structure and function as the ATP Synthase in humans. O True O Falsearrow_forwardStearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the synthesis of sucrosefrom glucose and fructose.arrow_forward
- When 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_forwardATP is produced during synthesis of compounds. O True O Falsearrow_forwardTwo molecules of glucose, a monosaccharide, when joined together they form a molecule of maltose. Write a chemical reaction to show this process.arrow_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_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
