Question

The reaction above in figure one is carried out by the enzyme Phosphoglycerate kinase, which converts the above, mentioned diphosphoglyceric acid into 2-phosphoglyceric acid. Based on figure 1: a. What is the substrate for this reaction? b. What is the product of this reaction? c. What type of phosphorylation is taking place to produce the molecule of ATP? Explain Isocitric add is an intermediate product produced during the Krebs cycle, based on the figure above answer, the following questions: a. In the redox reaction depicted in figure 2, which compound is being reduced, and how did you determine this? b. In the redox reaction depicted in figure 2, which compound is being oxidized, and how did you determine this? Assume you are working for a chemical company and are responsible for growing a yeast culture that produces ethanol. The yeasts are growing well on the maltose medium but are not producing alcohol. Why?

Explanation / Answer

1a. diphosphoglyceric acid is the substrate in this reaction

1b. 2-phosphoglycerate is the product in this reaction

1c. This type of phosphorylation process is substrate-level phosphorylation, in this reaction the ATP is formed by direct transfer of phosphoryl group to ADP
