(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “Although the reactions of gluconeogenesis are simply the reverse of the reactions of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis requires more energy than glycolysis releases.”

Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon sources.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “because glycolysis involves the partial oxidation of glucose, it cannot proceed in the absence of oxygen”.

Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The true statement for the given false statement, “ATP is ideal for the energy currency of the cell because it has most negative standard free energy change of hydrolysis of any phosphorylated compound in the cell”.

Introduction: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic system. It provides energy for carrying out various processes in living organisms. It is a driving fuel of the cell. The ATP in the cell is stored as ATP pool. The energy system comprises of high energy phosphates are called the phosphagen system

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The true statement for the given false statement “because energy production is so important in the cell, glycolytic enzymes function solely to degrade glucose”.

Introduction: Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. The resultant product is the pyruvate along with the release of two molecules of ATP. The enzymes involved in the glycolysis process are called the glycolytic enzymes.

True or False? Intermediates in the glycolysis pathway can be a source of raw material if the cell wants to construct biological molecules such as triglycerides or amino acids, but the citric acid cycle cannot be used this way.
a- During intense exercise the transformation glucose to lactate causes very less ATP production compared to aerobic glycolysis. Explain, does anaerobic glycolysis lead to waste of energy in muscle?  b-Glycogen phosphorylase enzyme catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. Describe, glycogen metabolism regulation through glycogen phosphorylase.
BIOMOLECULES - MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please answer properly QUESTION : In the final step of glycolysis, identify the name of the enzyme that converts phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate A. Phosphofructokinase-1 B. hexokinase C. aldolase D. pyruvate kinase
