TOPIC 1: Using a series of arrows, draw the branched metabolic reaction pathway described by the following statements, and then answer the question at the end. Use red arrows and minus signs to indicate inhibition. Be sure to take a picture of your metabolic pathway and include it as part of your answer.
L can form either M or N.
M can form O.
O can form either P or R.
P can form Q.
R can form S.
O inhibits the reaction of L to form M.
Q inhibits the reaction of O to form P.
S inhibits the reaction of O to form R.
Which reactions would/would not prevail if both Q & S were present in the cell in high concentrations?
L >>> M
M >>> O
L >>> N
O >>> P
TOPIC 2: Explain what is happening in the photo below in terms of kinetic energy and potential energy. Include the energy conversions that occur when the penguins eat fish and climb back up on the glacier. Describe the role of ATP and what happens to the free energy of some of the molecules involved. Explain exactly what an enzyme is (physically and chemically) and how the structure of an enzyme plays a crucial role with the other molecules involved in a chemical reaction.
**photo is attached** please include diagrams, charts, or pictures in your answer. thank you.
I WILL TIP THE WRITER SINCE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TOPICS THAT I NEED ANSWERS FOR.
