Chapter 9, Problem 9.2PS
The History of Glycolysis. Following are several historical observations that led to the elucidation of the glycolytic pathway. In each case, suggest a
- (a) Alcoholic fermentation in yeast extracts requires a heat-labile fraction originally called zymase and a heat-stable fraction (cozymase) that is necessary for the activity of zymase.
- (b) Alcoholic fermentation does not take place in the absence of inorganic phosphate.
- (c) In the presence of iodoacetate, a known inhibitor of glycolysis, fermenting yeast extracts accumulate a doubly phosphorylated hexose.
- (d) In the presence of fluoride ion, another known glycolytic inhibitor, fermenting yeast extracts accumulate two phosphorylated three-carbon acids.

Efficiency of ATP Production in Muscle: The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.
a) Metabolic process in which hexose metabolism occurs? Amount of steps?
Since this metabolic process (hexose -> 2 pyruvate) is exergonic.
b) But, looking at the individual reactions that makeup this process, they are a combination of exergonic and endergonic reactions. (true or false).
If false, explain why.
If true explain the contribution of endergonic reactions to the overall exergonic process.

- "Anaerobic glycolysis" (the conversion of glucose all the way to two lactate molecules) results in no net production of NADH. True or False- whyarrow_forwardNo need to explain; simply provide the correct answer to the following questions. Name the process that describes the metabolism of glucose and produces the end products pyruvate or lactate? True or False- in glycogenolysis, phosphorylation activates glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase What molecules does the glycolysis process produce? Which statements are valid? a. (fibers are the same as starches) b. (consuming soluble fibers is beneficial for those suffering from constipation) c. (consuming insoluble fibers is beneficial for those with watery stools) True or False- Gluconeogenesis is a reversal of the process of glycolysisarrow_forwardUnderstanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forward
