2. In gluconeogenesis, it takes two enzymes to convert pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate. a. Explain what is happening chemically
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:1. Pyruvate carboxylase

2. Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase

Explanation:

The conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenol pyruvate is catalyzed by two enzymes Pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase

1. Pyruvate carboxylase reaction

Pyruvate in the cytoplasm enters the mitochondria. Then, carboxylase of pyruvate to oxaloacetate is catalysed by a mitochondrial enzyme, pyruvate carboxylase. It needs the co-enzymes biotin and ATP.

The oxaloacetate formed has to be transported from the mitochondrial to the cytosol because further reaction of gluconeogenesis are taking place in cytosol.

2. Phoaphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase (PEPCK)

In the cytoplasm, PEPCK enzyme then converts oxaloacetate to phoaphoenol pyruvate by removing a molecule of CO2. GTP or ITP donates the phosphate group.

The net effect of these two reactions is the conversion of pyruvate to phoaphoenol pyruvate. This circumverts the irreversible step in glycolysis catalyzed by pyruvate kinase (step 9 if glycolysis)

How much energy is passed on from each level
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat
