7. Biological redox reactions are catalyzed by enzymes requiring stoichiometric co-factors. In th...
1. You are considering the following biological reactions that are catalyzed by specific enzymes as shown below. In reaction #1, enzyme El catalyzes the conversion of compound A to compound B in a truly reversible reaction in which the reverse reaction is just as likely as the forward reaction. In reaction #3, enzyme E2 catalyzes an energy requiring reaction that uses compounds C and D as substrates to produce compound E. In reaction #3, enzyme E3 catalyzes an energy producing...
2. Enzymes are important biological molecules and they act as catalysts for specific chemical reactions. Their biological function is determined by their 3 dimensional shape and the functional groups present in the active site. (a) What are the main mechanisms by which an enzyme increase the rate of a reaction? (b) What is a cofactor in an enzyme mediated reaction? (c) Give the name of a cofactor (structure if possible) and indicate the type of reaction that it facilitates. 3....
13. Describe 2 mechanisms whereby ATP is generated during cellular respiration Mechanism 1: Mechanism 2: 14. Indicate the MAIN molecules that enter and exit each of these processes? Molecule(s) IN Process Molecule(s) OUT Glycolysis Pyruvate Oxidation Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle ETC Photophosphorylation Calvin Cycle 15. Isocitrate is a 6 carbon molecule that is oxidized to a-ketoglutarate (a 5 carbon molecule) by the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. What happens to the extra carbon atom in this reaction and in which process (listed in...
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5 points) 2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5 points) 3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX myofiber in a human....
