12. Which of the following statement about coenzymes is not correct? The adenosine monophosphate component of NAD+ does not participate in the redox reaction. Ubiquinones such as coenzyme Q can be reduced in two steps involving one electron each. The flavins can transfer or take up electrons in single-electron steps but they are not able to undergo two-electron reductions. The oxidation of glucose is coupled to the generation of both NADH and FADH2. The 2’ hydroxyl group of the AMP portion of NAD+/NADH can be phosphorylated to become NADP+/NADPH.
Seven tomato plants were treated with chlorogenic acid (and seven control plants were not treated) to determine if this acid influences the activity of the enzyme o-diphenol oxidase in their leaves. The enzyme activity data are presented below. Does this treatment affect enzyme activity? TREATED – 35, 45, 36, 11, 41, 29, 38 NOT TREATED – 10, 18, 82, 91, 78, 11
9. give one three-carbon intermediate produced at the end of the energy-investment phase of glycolysis. do not abbreviate PLS
Different sugars prove to be easier or harder for yeast to metabolize. This affects the amount of energy you can get from each different sugar molecule. The easier the sugar molecule is to metabolize, the higher the energy yield (ie ATP yield). Match the following sugars to their relative energy output from metabolism: Sucrose I Select ] Lactose [Select ] Maltose I Select ] Glucose [Select ] Fructose Select]
