Which bacterial enzyme is responsible for the first reaction involved in the conversion of starch into glucose?
amylase
What type of chemical reaction would cause sucrose to break up into simpler units?
Hydrolysis or a hydrolytic is a reaction in which a water molecule i.e Sucrose, is needed to break up a complex molecule i.e glucose, into smaller molecule.
Is photosynthesis an example of an endothermic reaction yes or no?
No, photosynthesis is not an example of an endothermic reaction. It is an example of an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of glucose and oxygen.
To what main class of enzymes does the enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction belong?
The main class of enzymes that the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of lactose to galactose and glucose belongs to hydrolase. One example of a reaction of hydrolase is ser to ala which equals ser plus ala.
What types of reaction is glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.
What is the name of the reaction given to conversion of maltose to glucose?
hydrolyzation
What is a coupled reaction using as an example the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate?
A coupled reaction is two reactions that occur together. One reaction is necessary for the other to occur.The conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate is a good example. The first step that the cell takes in glycolysis (the beginning of the cellular respiration of glucose) is to convert glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. This phosphorylation requires an energy input, and therefore will not occur spontaneously.In the cell, both the necessary energy and the phosphate group are provided by a molecule of ATP. The free energy released by the conversion of ATP into ADP and a phosphate ion (Pi) is far greater than the energy required for the phosphorylation of glucose, and so, when the two reactions are coupled together, the phosphorylation of glucose goes ahead.To couple these reactions a hexokinase is required. This enzyme needs magnesium as a cofactor.

Glycogen glucose is an example of which pattern of chemical reaction?
synthesis reaction

What kind of reaction inside a living organism are controlled by enzymes?
Almost all bio-chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the living organism are catalyzed by enzymes.For Example: The conversion of Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate (1st Reaction of Glycolysis) is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase.Glucose + ATP ---> Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP
Is photosynthesis an example of an endothermic reaction yes or no?
No, photosynthesis is not an example of an endothermic reaction. It is an example of an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of glucose and oxygen.
What is the Light- independent reaction?
In scientific terms the light-independent reaction related to the process of photosynthesis which involves the conversion and reaction of carbon dioxide and other compounds to form Glucose.

What types of reaction is glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.
Why is photosynthesis considered an energy conversion reaction?
It converts the light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be used by the plant.
