14. Define phosphorylation.
15. List two ways in which phosphorylation is used in cell respiration.

16. In the space below, draw a diagram to show the process of glycolysis.
Include phosporylation, lysis, oxidation and ATP formation.
17. Explain the link reaction, including oxidative decarboxylation and conversion of pyruvate
to
acetyl CoA and CO2.
18. The link reaction produces Acetyl CoA (2C) from the input substrate (usually pyruvate).
The extra carbon is released as carbon dioxide. Acetyl CoA can also be produced from
fatty acids. When the fatty acid chain contains an even number of carbons, no CO2 is
released. How many Acetyl CoA molecules can be produced with the following fatty acids?

Sample data analysis question (from IB QuestionBank)
At the start of glycolysis, glucose is phosphorylated to produce glucose 6-phosphate, which is converted into
fructose 6-phosphate. A second phosphorylation reaction is then carried out, in which fructose 6-phosphate
is converted into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
Biochemists measured the enzyme activity of phosphofructokinase (the rate at which it catalyzed the
reaction) at different concentrations of fructose 6-phosphate. The enzyme activity was measured with a low
concentration of ATP and a high concentration of ATP in the reaction mixture. The graph below shows the
results.
