The following substrate is completely oxidized to CO2 by a cellular homogenate containing all necessary enzymes and coenzymes. It is assumed that glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are fully active and that the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is functional. What is the net gain of ATP molecules after the complete degradation of Dihydroxyacetone phosphate?

Organisms use different sources of carbon and energy. Archaeans do NOT use glycolysis and do NOT always use the pentose phosphate pathway, but use variations on these pathways for similar purposes. What is the best classification of this type of catabolism?
Choose the best answer.
A. Chemolithotrophs
B. Chemoorganotrophs
C. Photoheterotrophs
D. Photoautotrophs

Glycogen is the body’s storage form of glucose. When glycogen is degraded, glucose 1-P is formed. Glucose 1-P can then be isomerized to glucose 6-P. Starting with glucose 1-P and ending with two molecules of pyruvate, what is the net yield of glycolysis in terms of ATP and NADH formed?
In: Chemistry
Epinephrine and glucagon bind to different receptors on cell surface, but both receptors activate the same G protein and trigger the same series of events in which cAMP is produced and activates downstream proteins to regulate the metabolism of different types of carbohydrates. In lecture, we have learnt that activation of G protein by these two hormones promotes the breakdown of glycogen through the activation of glycogen phosphorylase and inhibition of glycogen synthetase in liver and muscle. In this essay, you are going to look up other metabolic pathways of carbohydrate regulated by epinephrine and glucagon.
In this essay, describe the following topics:
1. Regulation of glucagon secretion by glucose, and
2. Action of glucagon in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
- Discuss the pathways, enzymes and steps activated/ inactivated (including substrate and product in the enzymatic reactions)
- Explain the mode of regulation: phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, transcriptional control, etc.
- Discuss whether glucagon and epinephrine act in the same way in liver, muscle and heart cells in terms of their effects on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
