Question

I have no clue what these answers are.

Oxaloacetate can be converted to pyruvate. Based on the reactions we have seen in class, which enzymes could be used to convert oxaloacetate to pyruvate in two steps? First write the missing metabolite involved in this two-step conversion: oxaloacetate rightarrow rightarrow pyruvate Write the name of the enzymes needed for each step: Step 1: Step 2: The first step listed above also results in the release of (write the name or chemical formula of this molecule)

Explanation / Answer

Oxaloacetate can be converted to pyruvate via following reactions:

a). Oxaloacetate --------------------> Phosphoenol Pyruvate ----------------------------> Pyruvate

b). Name of the enzymes employed for

Step 1.   Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1)

Step 2. Pyruvate Kinase

c). The first step listed above also results in the release of Carbon dioxide (CO2)
