Glucose taken up by liver cells is rapidly phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate by ATP in the initial step of metabolism of the sugar. Two enzymes, which may be considered isozymes, are capable of catalyzing this reaction in the liver cell. Hexokinase has a low Km of ~0.05 mM for glucose, whereas glucokinase exhibits a Km of ~5 mM. After a meal, which of the following scenarios best describes the relative activity levels for the two enzymes? Hexokinase Glucokinase

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.

Gusing the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered above, the ratio of total sample volume to aliquot volume, and the total milligrams of the vitamin c tablet that you dissolved, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet for each trial. do this by scaling up to find the amount (mg) of ascorbic acid in your 250 ml flask. enter your calculated mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet, for each trial. be sure to enter your calculated mass in the corresponding order that you entered your milligrams of ascorbic acid. the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered for entry #1 previously should correspond to the mass of ascorbic acid that you enter for entry #1 here.
