Explanation / Answer

ans)

HELLO!

This is a multi-part question. As per the chegg rule, we can answer only first four subquestions. So i Can answered first two parts

1. Glycolysis

a)Overall Reaction :

Here the reaction is the

C6H12O6 + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 P (phosphate) --------> 2 H3(C=O)COOH (pyruvic acid) + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+

Major reactant: Glucose ; product s ATP (know as energy currency) + pyruvic acid

b) Functions of the pathway ;

1. here it is breakdown to glucose

2.form NADH and ATP as source of energy to cells

3.pyruvate is made available for the citric acid cycle

4 . intermediate compounds are formed, which may be used at various steps for other cellular purposes

c) Is the pathway aerobic or anaerobic? Is it considered catabolic, anabolic or both. Explain (1 pt each)

Glycolysis,:

It is an anaerobic process. None of its steps involve the use of oxygen. However, immediately upon finishing glycolysis, the cell must continue respiration in either an aerobic or anaerobic direction; this choice is made based on the circumstances of the particular cell.

Since the glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid and energy.

The process is catabolic. see the definition in the parenthesis (Catabolism involves all of the metabolic processes that tear down biomolecules, while anabolism is all of the metabolic processes that build biomolecules)

d) The process happens in the exa-mitochondrial portion of the cell.

2. Gluconeogenesis

a) Overall Reaction (major reactants and products)(1 pt each)

2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 GTP + 2 NADH + 6 H2O ’ glucose + 4 ADP + 2 GDP + 6 Pi + 2 NAD+ + 2 H+

b)Functions of the pathway. Include both major and minor functions (0.5 pt each)

Gluconeogenesis converts the pyruvate to glucose which passes back into the bloodstream, restoring that used by the erythrocytes and brain cells.

c) Is the pathway aerobic or anaerobic? Is it considered catabolic, anabolic or both. Explain (1 pt each)

Since glucose is synthesised from lower molecules. This is anabolic reaction. Also. since the pathway does use oxygen , this is an anaerobic reaction.

d) Gluconeogenesis occurs in the liver (approximately 90 %) and in the kidney (about 10 %), only those two tissues can provide blood glucose by gluconeogenesis.
