<span>Proteins are large biological molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acids.  Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is decided by the nucleotide sequence of their make-up, and which usually results in folding of the protein into a three-dimensional structure that determines its job. 
    </span><span>Nucleic acids are linear polymers (chains) of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three things: a purine , nitrogenous base a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.  
    </span><span>
 Basically Proteins are chains of amino acids, nucleic acids are chains of nucleosides (base+sugar+phosphate), and the sequence of nucleic acid results in the specific sequence of amino acids in the protein, finnally determining its shape and function. </span>

During glycolysis, what is the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP? A. the chemical bonds in pyruvic acid B. t
seropon [69]

During glycolysis, the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP:

B. the chemical bonds in glucose

Explanation:

  • Glycolysis  is also known as Embden-meyerhof pathway.
  • It is an oxidative process in which one mole of glucose is partially oxidized into two moles of pyruvate.
  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell in  both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
  • The breakdown of six-carbon glucose into two molecules the three-carbon pyruvate occurs in ten steps.
  • The first five steps of this pathway constitute the preparatory phase.This phase consumes energy during the phosphorylation of glucose.
  • The preparatory phase produces two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
  • The  two molecules of G3P are then converted to pyruvate in the next five steps that constitute the payoff phase.
  • The energy gain of glycolysis comes in this payoff phase.
  • The oxidation of G3P yields a high energy molegule 1,3 -bisphosphoglycerate .
  • The high energy phosphate on carbon 1 of this molecule is donated to ADP and ATP is produced.
  • This synthesis of ATP is called substrate level phosphorylation because ADP phosphorylation is coupled with exergonic breakdown of a high-energy bond.
