The standard free energy change of phosphate hydrolysis is shown below for several molecules in the glycolytic pathway.
| Molecule | ?G? (kJ/mol) |
| Phosphoenolpyruvate | ?61.9 |
| 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate | ?49.4 |
| ATP ? ADP + Pi | ?30.5 |
| Fructose-6-phosphate | ?15.9 |
| Glucose-6-phosphate | ?13.8 |
Which statement explains why glucose phosphorylation could not
occur without ATP investment?
A. Without ATP investment in stage I of glycolysis, the
concentration of ATP would become too high and would inhibit
phosphofructokinase, leading to inhibition of the entire glycolytic
pathway.
B. Without ATP investment, glucose would not become "trapped" in the cell and could easily be transported out as blood glucose levels decrease. This transport would reduce the amount of glucose available for some organs.
C. Without ATP investment it would be impossible to regulate the entry of glucose into glycolysis.
D. Without ATP investment, one or both of the substrates would need to exceed the solvent capacity of the cell for glucose phosphorylation to occur.

An enzyme catalyzed reaction has a Km of 3.76 mM and a Vmax of 6.72 nM/s. What is the reaction velocity in nM/s, when the substrate concentrations are:
A. 0.500 mM
B. 15.6 mM
C. 252 mM
D. Now assume you have added a competitive inhibitor that has a concentration of 15.6 µM with a KI of 7.30 µM to the enzyme in question 9. Calculate the velocity at the same substrate concentrations as above:
E. 0.500 mM
F. 15.6 mM
G. 252 mM

The bacterial enzyme streptokinase is used to digest fibrin in patients with atherosclerosis. Why doesn't the injection of streptokinase cause a streptococcal infection?
2- How do we know that streptokinase will break down fibrin and not functional tissue?
3- bromouracil is used as an anti cancer drug it is mistaken for thymine by cellular enzymes during DNA replication, name the enzyme site the nucleoside analog is probably binding.
4- Is glucose completely broken down in respiration or fermentation?
5- How does aerobic and anaerobic respiration differ?

Why is a V vs S plot often inadequate for determining enzyme kinetic constants, and how do various alternate plotting methods allow these values to be determined more adequately? Give examples of alternate methods of kinetic analysis and their utility.
The V vs S plot is inadequate because it makes the assumption that it’s only for a single subunit and substrate. The line on the graph usually represents a line that best fits the data and are not completely accurate. This only measures free enzymes or unstable enzyme substrate complex. An alternate method

Red Canyon T-shirt Company operates a chain of T-shirt shops in the southwestern United States. The sales manager has provided a sales forecast for the coming year, along with the following information: Quarter 1-49000, Quarter 2-78000, Quarter 3- 39000 Quarter 478000 Budgeted Unit Sales. Each T-shirt is expected to sell for $24. The purchasing manager buys the T-shirts for $10 each. The company needs to have enough T-shirts on hand at the end of each quarter to fill 34 percent of the next quarter’s sales demand. Selling and administrative expenses are budgeted at $98,000 per quarter plus 14 percent of total sales revenue. Required: 1. Determine budgeted sales revenue for each quarter. 2. Determine budgeted cost of merchandise purchased for each quarter. 3. Determine budgeted cost of good sold for each quarter. 4. Determine selling and administrative expenses for each quarter. 5. Complete the budgeted income statement for each quarter.
