Accepted Answer

Sodium ion \u003c glucose \u003c water \u003c oxygen

Question 4

Which of the following statements about ATP is TRUE regarding its phosphoryl-transfer potential?

Accepted Answer

ATP's phosphoryl-transfer potential is high because of the repulsion between adjacent phosphate groups.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

NADPH

Question 6

A reaction has a $$\Delta G of$$ $$+5$$ kcal/mol. If it is coupled to ATP hydrolysis ($$\Delta G = -7.3$$ kcal/mol), what is the net $$\Delta G$$ for the combined reaction?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G = -2.3$$ kcal/mol

Question 7

Which class of enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose in the first step of glycolysis?

Accepted Answer

Transferase

Question 8

Which of the following is a regulated step in glycolysis, and what molecule inhibits the enzyme responsible?

Accepted Answer

Phosphofructokinase is inhibited by ATP.

Question 9

Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes between anabolic and catabolic pathways?

Accepted Answer

Catabolic pathways break down molecules to release energy; anabolic pathways build molecules using energy.
