Reactions that release that same phosphate (in another process called hydrolysis) provide chemical energy that our cells use for countless processes, from brain signaling to movement and reproduction. How ATP ascended to metabolic dominance, in place of many possible equivalents, has been a...
Why does the free energy of hydrolysis of ATP increase as the concentration of Mg2+ decreases? Breifly dicuss why Ca2+ is not required to induce contraction of the glycerinated muscle fiber. Why is ATP well-suited as a metabolic energy currency? Why is ATP required for glycolysis?...
Why is ATP required for phosphorylation? Why do you need to change glucose to fructose in glycolysis? Why can't acetyl-CoA be converted to glucose? What is the purpose of glycolysis? Why is PEP hydrolysis so exergonic? Why does pH change enzyme activity? Why can't acetyl CoA be co...

Why is PEP hydrolysis so exergonic? Why do erythrocytes always use anaerobic instead of aerobic glycolysis? Why is FADH2 not an appropriate reductant? Why does FADH2 yield less ATP than NADH? Why is pyruvate dehydrogenase a complex of three enzymes, instead of isolated enzymes as in glycolysis...
