The number of carbon atoms in each triose phosphate molecule?
3 carbon atoms in a triose phosphate molecule
Why only glucose enters into glycolysis why not other sugars directly enter into glycolysis?
Other sugars do enter into glycolysis such as fructose, galactose and mannose. Fructose can directly enter into glycolysis while the other two is converted to a glucose intermediate molecule because it can produce the two triose phophate molecules (DHAP and G3P) which are needed to generate energy from the reactions (ATP) and pyruvate.
How many carbon atoms does is in one molecule of phosphoglycolate?
There are two phosphoglyceric acids, both having three carbon atoms.3-hydroxy-2-phosphono-oxypropanoic acid and2-hydroxy-3-phosphono-oxypropanoic acid
What is monosaccharide glucose?
They are the simple sugars in a carbohydrate (ex. glucose) All carbohydrates, whether it be simple glucose or complex starch, are classified as a sugar. Any of a class of carbohydrates that can't be broken down into simple sugars by hydrolysis. A monosaccharide is the most basic unit of carbohydrates and the simplest form of sugars.
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
The number of carbon atoms in each triose phosphate molecule?
3 carbon atoms in a triose phosphate molecule
What is a triose sugar?
a sugar with three carbons
What enzyme would use NAD as a coenzyme?
Triose phosphate dehydrogenase
How does 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde get changed into dihydroxyacetone phosphate?
This reaction is catalyzed by Triose phosphate isomerase
How many carbon atoms does triose have?
There are 5 carbons in sugars. Sugars can form five membered rings or six membered rings.
What is meant by trioses?
A triose is one of a group of monosaccharides that contain three carbon atoms. There are only two trioses, an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde) and a ketotriose. Source: Wikipedia
If a cell is completely lacking in the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase, which of the following is a possible result?
Only one pyruvate molecule will be formed per molecule of glucose
What are the products of 6 turns of the Calvin cycle?
2 molecules of triose phosphate are made from the reaction of every 6 turns of the cycle source: bio major
What kind of molecule is G3P?
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, also known as triose phosphate or G3P, is an organic compound. It occurs as an intermediate in several central metabolic pathways of all organisms.
How many carbons would a pentose sugar have?
Pentose sugar has 5 carbon atoms if that's what your asking..!(:
What is used in glycolysis?
this is shamefully vague question. In glycolysis, glucose and (hexokinase, phosphogluco-mutase, aldolase, triose-phosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate-kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and pyruvate kinase) enzymes are used.
What is returned to chlorophyll in cyclic photophosphorylation that is not returned in noncyclic photoreduction?
triose phosphate(it regenarates RuBP) some condense to form hexose phosphate,sucrose, starch, and cellulose or are converted into acetyl coenzyme A to make amino acids and lipids..
