Concept Introduction:
A biochemical reaction refers to a
(b)
Interpretation:
The given biochemical reaction is to be classified.
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.

- Explain the stoichiometry of fatty acid synthesis Carefully count and account for each of the atomsand charges in the equations for the synthesis of palmitoyl-CoA, the synthesis of malonyl-CoA, andthe overall reaction for the synthesis of palmitoyl-CoA from acetyl-CoA.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for the pentose phosphate pathway in the first two modes depicted in Figure , where (a) ribose-5-phosphate synthesis is maximized and (b) NADPH production is maximized, by conversion of the sugar phosphate products to glucose-6-phosphate for repeated operations of the pathwayarrow_forwardUnder anaerobic conditions, lactate is produced from _________________.arrow_forward
- If a liver extract capable of carrying out normal metabolic reactions (including gluconeogenesis) is incubated with labeled pyruvate labeled with carbon-13 at the methyl carbon atom (shown in red below), where would the label be found in glucose? Explain, including schemes of the reactions to support your answer.arrow_forwardProvide a mechanism that would support this reaction. It is similar to a step in the Citric Acid Cycle. Please answer very soon will give rating surelyarrow_forward(give clear handwritten answer)What types of intermolecular interactions can pyruvate participate in? Be specific about type and which atoms can be involved (charge type, H-bond donor or acceptor, etc).arrow_forward
- Suggest a name for the enzyme that converts malate to oxaloacetate in step [8] of the citric acid cyclearrow_forwardMalate is converted to oxaloacetate by malate dehydrogenase using the cofactor NAD+. Note that histidine is the base needed to start the reaction, and it is abbreviated as :B. Only the relevant portion of NAD+ is shown.arrow_forwardIn the process of heme degradation, _________________ bind(s) iron and _________________ bind(s) alpha and beta hemoglobin dimers, preventing renal excretion of hemoglobin.   Question 6 options:  A) transferrin, haptoglobin  B) haptoglobin, transferrin  C) phagocytic cells, bilirubin  D) hemosiderin, haptoglobinarrow_forward
