Compulsory Question: Gluconeogenesis Consider 2 mols of the radiolabeled molecule pictured below, which contains 15 uCi...
3. You are given 90 mg of the following radioactively labeled carbohydrate, which contains a total of 3 uCi of 14C (14C = *). Draw the specific degradation pathway required to metabolize this molecule into a 3-Carbon subunit (pyruvate). Noting in this pathway we also incubated with a triose phosphate isomerase inhibitor (assume 100% inhibition). Specifically label the radioactive position(s) in the final product(s) and account for all radioactivity observed as this starting compound progresses through the pathway. Finally, calculate...
Question: You buy a sample of glucose that has the radioactive carbon-14 (C) isotope at the second position (Carbon #2). All other carbon positions in the glucose molecules have the "C isotope. "C is only a label and does not alter the biochemical behavior of the molecules in which it is found. This glucose sample is mixed with all the enzymes derived from liver cells, which initially contain no other C-labeled chemicals. A) Draw the Haworth structure of glucose and...
During the aerobic metabolism of glucose, glucose is ____________. Reduced to form water Oxidized to form water Reduced to form CO2 Oxidized to form CO2 Which of the following describes the equation: FAD + XH2 à FADH2 + X. FAD is reduced to FADH2 It is a coupled reduction – oxidation reaction XH2 is oxidized to X All of the above Which of the following is FALSE about glycolysis? The initial steps of glycolysis requires energy derived from the splitting...
