Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a regulatory molecule in metabolic processes such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. For example, it stimulates the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, and therefore ATP production, and it inhibits the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. Adenylate kinase catalyzes the reversible reaction shown here:
2ADP --> ATP + AMP
During periods of intense activity, when glycolysis is used in the generation of ATP, the reaction lies to the right, decreasing [ADP], generating ATP, and accumulating AMP. However, [ATP] is usually much greater than [ADP], and [ADP] is greater than [AMP].
Determine [AMP] when 3% of the ATP in a hypothetical cell is hydrolyzed to ADP.
<span>In this cell, the initial concentration of ATP is 265 ?M, and the total adenine nucleotide concentration (the concentration of ATP, ADP, and AMP) is 368 ?M. The equilibrium constant K is 0.82</span>

<span>Wax is a simple form of lipid
molecule. It consists of a long-chain of alcohol and a fatty acid. Many of the
natural occurring wax found in nature are used as ingredients for products
found in stores like ointments, hand cream, and cosmetics.
Plants have
naturally occurring wax on their leaves and stems; these serve as coatings to
prevent them from losing excess water. Other forms of wax found in nature are beeswax,
used by bees to make their cones for honey and eggs; sperm whales have
spermaceti wax found in their blubber; and carnuba wax, is an ingredient
commonly used for car waxes, commonly found in Brazilian palm trees. </span>
