The phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is the committed step in glycolysis because. it is the rate-limiting step

<h3>What is phosphorylation?</h3>

The first step in the metabolism of carbohydrates is frequently their phosphorylation. Because the phosphate group stops the molecules from migrating back across the transporter, phosphorylation enables cells to store carbohydrates. Glucose phosphorylation is a crucial step in the metabolism of sugar. In the first phase of glycolysis, D-glucose is converted to D-glucose-6-phosphate using the chemical equation D-glucose + ATP D-glucose-6-phosphate + ADP G° = 16.7 kJ/mol (° signifies measurement under standard conditions).

The rate-limiting stage in the liver's metabolism of glucose is the initial rate of phosphorylation of glucose (ATP-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase) and non-specific hexokinase. Hepatic cells are freely permeable to glucose (ATP-D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase).

encouraging certain glucose transporters to translocate to the cell membrane.

What are chylomicrons? a. Alcohols with three-carbon chains b. Nitrogen compounds found in foods and made in the body c. Food ad

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Chylomicron is a small fat globule which is made of protein and lipids. These substances are found in the lymphatic fluid and blood where they tend to transport fat from the entry in the intestine to the liver and adipose tissue.

Once, one eats the fatty meal the blood is full of a number of chylomicrons which provides the blood texture.

The food that is digested is absorbed and transported to various parts of the body.

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brÃ¸nsted-lowry acid in water.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.

So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.

Which of the following statements is true? Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus.

Lunna [17]

The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.
