2-phosphoglycerate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate by enolase. which of the following statements about this reaction is true?
a) this reaction is irreversible under physiological
conditions
b) both molecules contain the same amount of energy, but energy is
redistributed
c) the energy that can be released from these two molecules is the
same
d) CO2 is released during this reaction
In the given reaction, the total energy content of 2-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate are same but the energy has been redistributed, the phosphoryl group in phosphoenolpyruvate gets the larger amount of energy.
Correct answer is (b)
2-phosphoglycerate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate by enolase. which of the following statements about this reaction is...
Enolase converts 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). This reaction has a ΔG’o= + 7.5 kJ/mol, but the reaction occurs readily under normal cellular conditions. What is the ratio of [PEP]/[2PG] at equilibrium, at 25oC? In this case, If 2PG is present within the cell cytosol at a concentration of 6 x 10-3M and the concentration of PEP = 0.10 x 10-3M, what is the ΔG of the reaction at 37oC?

Which of the following statements about enzymes are true? Select all that apply: Enzymes increase reaction rates by lowering the energy of the products. Enzymes increase the rate at which products are created by preventing reactions from running backwards. Enzymes increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Enzymes increase reaction rates by interacting with the substrate molecules to facilitate the reaction, for example by contorting them to facilitate bond-breakage or orienting them to favor bond formation.
D Question 19 2 pts Which of the following statements best describes the primary role played by oxygen in cellular respiration? It yields energy in the form of ATP as it is passed down the electron transport chain. It serves as an acceptor for carbon, forming CO2 in the citric acid cycle. It oxidizes glucose to form two molecules of pyruvate. It serves as the final acceptor for electrons from the electron transport chain. Question 20 2 pts Which of...
Which of the following statements would not be true about photovoltaic cells? They are a renewable source of energy. They can generate electricity on both a small and large scale.
