Interpretation:
Whether hydrolysis of fructose
Concept Introduction:
Exergonic: The reaction is considered as exergonic if energy released since the reactants loses its energy making the free energy more negative hence making it spontaneous reaction.
Endergonic: The reaction is considered as endergonic if it needs more energy means that activation energy is much higher making the reaction non spontaneous.
Favorable Reaction: They release free energy which in turn used to do work. The products will have lower energy than reactants of the reaction shows that stable products are obtained hence the value of
The tendency for reaction proceed toward product side before reaching equilibrium will increases as more amount of free energy released.
Hydrolysis: The reaction in which chemical compound is breakdown in presence of water is termed as hydrolysis. Here water serves as one reactant.
Phosphorylation: It involves transfer of phosphate group from inorganic/organic phosphate to another chemical compound.

- UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme. What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?arrow_forwardWhat is the first step in the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate into the fructose 6-phosphate?arrow_forwardHemp oil contains eicosenoic acid (20:149) as its primary monounsaturated fatty acid. Let's consider the conversion of a molecule of eicosenoic acid to ẞ-hydroxybutyrate. What are the ẞ-oxidation products and how many ATP are required during activation for one molecule of lignoceric acid? Given the following, how many molecules of 8-hydroxybutyrate can be produced? 2 CoA CoA NADH NAD+ H+ OH B-hydroxybutyrate Based on the total NADH and FADH2 available after converting lignoceric acid into 8-hydroxybutyrate, what is the typical yield of ATP that can be produced in the liver? Don't forget to include any ATP required for activation steps.arrow_forward
- If G6P is labeled at its C2 position, where will the label appear in the products of the pentose phosphate pathway?arrow_forwardExplain why, glucose-6-phosphate will prefer to go via the pentose phosphate route. What additional chemical is created by this route, and what role does it play in anabolic pathways?arrow_forwardThe effect of ATP on the allosteric enzyme PFK-1 is shown below. For a given concentration of fructose 6-phosphate, the PFK-1 activity increases with increasing concentrations of ATP, but a point is reached beyond which increasing the concentration of ATP inhibits the enzyme. (a) Explain how ATP can be both a substrate and an inhibitor of PFK-1. How is the enzyme regulated by ATP? (b) In what ways is glycolysis regulated by ATP levels? (c) The inhibition of PFK-1 by ATP is diminished when the ADP concentration is high, as shown in the illustration. How can this observation be explained? *A graph is included for this question*arrow_forward
- Human beings contain two different carbamoyl phosphate synthetase enzymes. One uses glutamine as a substrate, whereas the other uses ammonia. What are the functions of these two enzymes?arrow_forwardHow does control of the glucose-6-phosphatase reaction differ from that of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reaction?arrow_forwardPhosphoglycerate mutase transfers a phosphoryl group from C3 of 3-phosphoglycerate to C2 position to give 2-phosphoglycerate. Why is it important to have the phosphoryl group at position 2 rather than at C3? It was observed that the activity of some preparations of the enzyme could be increased if catalytic (very small) amount of 2, 3-bisphosphoglycerate was added to the enzyme. Give a possible explanation for this observation.arrow_forward
- In step 2 of the fatty acid biosynthesis, the acetyl-S-synthase condenses the acetyl group (C2) with a malonyl-ACP (C3) and subsequent decarboxylation to acetoacetyl-ACP (C4). Give the molecule [A] after condensation and before decarboxylation in the reaction below. synthase (A] ACP + CO2 + HS synthase ACP HO S.arrow_forwardIn the liver, fructose can be converted into glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate without passing through the phosphofructokinase-regulated reaction. Show the reactions that make this conversion possible. Why might ingesting high levels of fructose have deleterious physiological effects?arrow_forwardHow does control of the glucose6-phosphatase reaction differ from that of the fructose-1,6- bisphosphatase reaction?arrow_forward
