Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 9P
Comparing Glycolysis Entry Points for Sucrose Sucrose can enter glycolysis by either of two routes:
Sucrose phosphorylase:
Sucrose + Pi
Invertase:
Sucrose + H20
Would either of these reactions offer Jin advantage over the other In the preparation of hexoses fur entry into glycolysis?

In different organisms sucrose can be cleaved either by hydrolysis or by
phosphorolysis. Calculate the ATP yield per mole of sucrose metabolized by
anaerobic glycolysis starting with (a) hydrolytic cleavage and (b) phosphoro-
lytic dleavage.
The free energy change of each step of glycolysis is given in the table below. ∆G°’ is the free energy under standard conditions (25°C, 1M each reactant, pH 7), while ∆G is the free energy change at presumed physiological conditions. Why must no step have a positive ∆G under physiological conditions?
The pyruvate →lactate reaction in animals is reversible, but the pyruvate → ethanol fermentation in yeast is irreversible. Explain.

- Write balanced biochemical equations for all the reactions in the catabolism of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate (the preparatory & payoff phase of glycolysis), including the standard free-energy change ΔG for each reaction. Then write the overall or net equation of glycolysis, with the net standard free-energy change when one molecule of glucose is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate.arrow_forwardOf the steps illustrated how many are unidirectional? Identify the substrate and product of each of these steps. Identify the three enzymes that are likely to be regulated in glycolysis? How did you make this determination. Glycogen synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glucose 6 phosphate activates glycogen synthase by allosteric regulation. Illustrate and describe how this allosteric modulation is likely to occur?
