Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the reaction between glycerol and ATP results in the formation of glycerol-3-phosphate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glycerol:
The catabolism of fat which actually contain 3
Glycerol is polyol compound which is actually the base of all lipids.
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Kinase: It is enzyme which serves as a catalyst in reaction of transferring phosphoryl group into the substrate.
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.

- Acyl-CoA synthase is the enzyme that activates a fatty acid by converting it to a fatty acyl-CoA in a series of two reactions. In the first reaction, the fatty acid reacts with ATP and one of the products formed is ADP. The other product reacts in a second reaction with CoASH to form the fatty acyl-CoA. Propose a mechanism for each of the reactions.arrow_forwardGalactose can enter the glycolytic cycle but it must first react with ATP to form galactose-1-phosphate. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardHow does the concentration of NADH affect the rate of the citric acid cycle? Explain in 1 sentence.arrow_forward
