Although it is formed from glucose, pyruvate can be converted into energy via the Krebs cycle, to carbohydrates for the storage of energy by gluconeogenesis, to protein in the form of the amino acid alanine, and to ethanol in anaerobic reactions. Interestingly, because pyruvic acid is so ...
Can oxaloacetate and pyruvate form amino acids? If so, explain how. And, if pyruvate can be transformed into amino acids, does it mean that glucose can be transformed into amino acid as well, since pyruvate forms glucose? Out of the...
What does ATP synthase mean? What is the main biochemical function of the electron transport chain? 1) To break down glucose into pyruvic acids 2) To add phosphate groups to ATP 3) To move protons across the mitochondrial membrane 4) To force hydrogen ions through ATP synthase 5) All ...
If blood is not processed promptly and properly, high levels may occur. If all values except LDH are within expected ranges, it is probably a processing error and does not require further evaluation. Bilirubin is a pigment removed from the blood by the liver. Low values are of no concern...
Since this is somewhat weaker than the coffee most people drink, does that mean that the acids would be more easy to spot in a stronger coffee? After all, the way that the coffee is brewed has a strong effect on theacidity: In terms of both titratableacidityand perceived sourness, brewing...
What does the word "equivalent" in citric acid equivalent mean? Hint: citric acid is not the only acid present in orange juice. Similar terms include gallic acid equivalent, quercetin equivalent and ascorbic acid equivalent.What is the net yield of ATP when each of the following subs...
We interpret this to mean that, although there is a significant change to the XG structure, there is likely to be an ensemble effect where C153 still senses XG. It is likely that the solvation environment of the XG structure, both backbone and side chain components, contributes to decreasing...
