Based on the information given in Section 14.3 of your NCERT textbook, can you identify the chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase?
1.${\mathrm{C}}_{12}{\mathrm{H}}_{22}{\mathrm{O}}_{11}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\to 2{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6$
2.${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCOO}}^{-}+{\mathrm{H}}^{+}\to {\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2$
3. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}+\mathrm{NADH}+{\mathrm{H}}^{+}\to {\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{OH}+{\mathrm{NAD}}^{+}$
4. None of these

Oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen results in the production of carbon dioxide and water and releases free energy. This is because:

1.High energy covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken to produce weaker covalent bonds in water and carbon dioxide.

2. Electrons are being moved from atoms that have a lower affinity for electrons to atoms with a higher affinity for electrons.

3.The electrons in water and carbon dioxide have higher potential energy than the electrons in organic compounds.

4. The covalent bonds in organic molecules are unstable and stable in water and oxygen.

Consider the steps of glycolysis given in the diagram:  

What is true about reaction 1?
I. Hexokinase is a transferase
II. It acts to keep the glucose concentration low
III. It blocks the glucose from leaking out
1. Only I and II
2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III
4. I, II and III

Consider the steps of glycolysis given in the diagram:

It is advantageous that in reaction 5 DHAP is isomerized to G3P because:
1. G3P has more energy than DHAP
2. DHAP is highly toxic
3. Regulation of the pathway becomes easy
4. DHAP is unstable and breaks down to Acetyl CoA
