The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free energy for the reduction of NAD to

NADH is 53 kcal/mol. Why are only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. Most of the free energy available from the  oxidation of glucose is used in the production of ATP in  glycolysis.

b. Glycolysis is a very inefficient reaction, with much of  the energy of glucose released as heat

.c. Most of the free  energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate,  one of the products of glycolysis.

d. There is no CO2 or water produced as products  of glycolysis.e. Glycolysis consists of many enzymatic reactions,  each of which extracts some energy from the glucose molecule.

Answer:

Most of the free  energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate,  one of the products of glycolysis.

Explanation:

Glycolysis refers to the breakdown of the glucose molecules during the complex process of cellular respiration. The process takes place in ten enzymes catalyzed reactions that form the 2 molecules of pyruvate.

The glycolysis process releases a lot of energy which is measured as -686 kcal/mol. The energy is not released into the reaction directly but is conserved in pyruvate form and less is released into driving the reduction of NAD to NADH.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is (B) False.

There is not as much energy used to add a phosphate group by means of phosphorolysis, as the energy required adding a phosphate using ATP.

What is Phosphorolysis?

  • Glycogen phosphorolysis is a process that occurs at the start of glycogen breakdown. As a result, glucose can be produced from glycogen.
  • Glycogen phosphorolylsis catalyzes glycogen phosphorolytic cleavage, resulting in glycogen-1-phosphate.
  • However, when cleaving glucose from glycogen, a non-reducing terminal is eliminated.
  • Furthermore, phosphoglucomutase can convert glucose-1-phosphate generated from glycogen into G6P, allowing it to go directly to glycolysis.
  • It should be noted that going straight to glycolysis eliminates the need for ATP to convert glucose to G6P.
  • If the glucose created by glycolysis is consumed, three ATPs are produced.
  • Phosphorolysis requires less energy than ATP to add a phosphate group.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:The based on this information interaction between these two species can best be described as COMPETITION. Correct option is B

Explanation:

Competition occurs between two species that shares the same requirements ( especially food) for survival.

Both the Western Toad and the Bull Frog has a similar niche because they require the same type of food (beetles, bees, and small aquatic insects) to survive in the environment of Arroyo Seco. Only one of the species will coexist in that environment and it's usually the survival of the fittest.

This explains the competitive exclusion principle proposed by Georgii Gause in 1934.
