a fatty acid
Which of the following is a common redox cofactor used in biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid biosynthesis? NAD+/NADH + H+ FMN FAD/FADH2 NADP+/NADPH
NADP+/NADPH
Which of the following common biochemical reactions results in a loss of electrons by one reactant and a gain of electrons by another? oxidation/reduction reactions internal rearrangements none of the answers here is true free radical reactions group transfer reactions
oxidation/reduction reactions
Which of the following is true of the hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions?
It is not favored under standard conditions
The products of hydrolysis (ADP + Pi) are less stable than the reactant (ATP).
The hydrolysis of ATP results in products that have more favorable resonance stabilization.
The hydrolysis of ATP results in a standard free energy change that is large and positive
More than one answer here is true
The hydrolysis of ATP results in products that have more favorable resonance stabilization.
If the ΔG’º of a reaction of A->B is -40 kJ/mol, under standard conditions the reaction:
will never reach equilibrium
is at equilibrium
will proceed spontaneously from left to right
will proceed at a rapid rate
will not occur spontaneously
will proceed spontaneously from left to right
If a reaction is at equilibrium, what is the free energy change?
It is always negative.
It equals zero.
It is always positive.
It could be either positive or negative depending on the reaction.
It equals zero.
