What is the colour change in glucose when Benedict's solution is added to it and is heated?

Because starch and glucose are two different tests and there are different reactions that can occur in the process of these tests.


Which events occur shortly after eating?

Increase uptake of glucose by skeletal muslces and other body tissue.


What gas must be present for the aerobic breakdown of glucose to occur?

Oxygen, the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration.


What is process of photosynthesis to the absorption of light to the production of glucose?

Photosynthesis can only occur when there is sunlight. The sunlight is absorbed by the leaves, and this causes the carbon dioxide and water to interact, creating glucose and oxygen.


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.
