Which of the following steps does NOT require ATP?Select one:A.Conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphateB.Conversion of malate to pyruvateC.Activation of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) by PKAD.Inactivation of glycogen synthase by PKAE.Conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate
Question
Which of the following steps does NOT require ATP?Select one:A.Conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphateB.Conversion of malate to pyruvateC.Activation of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) by PKAD.Inactivation of glycogen synthase by PKAE.Conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate
Solution
The step that does NOT require ATP is B. Conversion of malate to pyruvate. This is a step in the citric acid cycle and it does not require ATP, instead it generates NADH. The other options involve processes that require ATP either directly or indirectly.

Which statement about the production of pyruvate in the final step of glycolysis is CORRECT? A. Pyruvate kinase transfers a phosphate group from ATP to PEP to generate pyruvate and ADP. B. The unfavourable conversion of PEP to pyruvate is driven largely by the highly favourable standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP. C. The standard free energy change for the conversion of PEP to pyruvate is very highly favourable to counteract the unfavourable phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.
