consider the process where Acetyl-CoA is converted to malonyl-CoA through Acetyl-CoA carboxylase. true or false: a. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is a transferase. b. The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + Pi is an endergonic reaction.
Added by Naomi S.
Step 1
False. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is not a transferase. It is a carboxylase, which is a type of ligase that catalyzes the addition of a carboxyl group. Show more…

Indicate whether the following statements about gluconeogenesis are true (T) or false (F): (a) It occurs completely in the mitochondrial matrix. (b) Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes an anaplerotic reaction and is the 1st regulatory enzyme. (c) Precursors of hexoses include lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and alanine. (d) There are 3 bypass reactions with ΔG values near zero, whereas other gluconeogenesis reactions have large negative ΔG values. (e) Oxaloacetate from the citric acid cycle can be used to make glucose.
