Video transcript

Hi everyone here We have a question asking how can we distinguish an oxidizing agent and redox reaction? So to remember this, we use leo girl losing electrons. Is oxidizing, gaining electrons is reducing. And this question asked, how can we distinguish an oxidizing agent? So an oxidizing agent is going to be the one that is being reduced so it is gaining electrons. So our answer is a it gains electrons. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

MAKE CONNECTIONS Step 3 in Figure 9.9 is a major point of regulation of glycolysis. The enzyme phosphofructokinase is allosterically regulated by ATP and related molecules (see Concept 8.5). Considering the overall result of glycolysis, would you expect ATP to inhibit or stimulate activity of this enzyme? Explain. (Hint: Make sure you consider the role of ATP as an allosteric regulator, not as a substrate of the enzyme.)
