AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around five questions related to metabolic pathways, particularly glycolysis and cellular respiration. Key points include the requirements for glycolysis, the products of anaerobic glucose metabolism, and the ATP yield from glucose breakdown. The impact of cyanide on the electron-transport chain is also highlighted, emphasizing its role in blocking electron flow. Participants suggest reviewing textbook materials on metabolic pathways for better understanding and exam preparation. Understanding these pathways is crucial for mastering the subject matter.

If you know the answer of these 5 Questios , please help me


1)The glycolytic pathway from glucose to pyruvic acid involves a lengthy series of different chemical reactions. Each individual reaction requires:
a) a molecule of ATP
b) a molecule of NAD+
c) a molecule of a specific enzyme
d) a molecule of NADP+



2) When a muscle cell is metabolizing glucose in the complete absence of molecular oxygen, which one of the following substances is not produced?
a) Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
b)ATP
c)Pyruvic acid
d)Lactic acid
e)Acetyl-CoA



3)When a molecule of glucose is completely broken down in a cell to water and CO2, some ATP molecules are synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation and some by chemiosmotic phosphorylation via the electron- transport system. What percentage of the total number of ATP molecules formed comes from the latter process?
a)94%
b)89%
c)83%
d)78%



4)Cyanide blocks the respiratory electron-transport chain. As a result of:

c)Glycolysis
d)the oxidation of pyruvic acid
e)the formation of acetyl-CoA

You need to show your work before we can offer any assistance. The key to answering these is to know and understand the reaction pathways described. If you need a starting point, go back to your textbook and look up the 5 metabolic pathways listed in problem 5 and work from those. Keep in mind, you're going to have to memorize those pathways for exams (or, at the very least, know what goes in and what comes out).
 
Err... this may not be very helpful, but I think that cyanides disrupt the respiratory cycle cause they form more stable complexes with haemoglobin than iron and hence cannot be displaced from the complexes. This disrupts the equilibrium and oxygen cannot be delivered to the cells...

Again... I read this somewhere when I was studying coordination compounds, so I am not sure how helpful this is to you...
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
