16. List two ways in which phosphorylation is used in cell respiration.
17. In the space below, draw a diagram to show the process of glycolysis.
Include phosporylation, lysis, oxidation and ATP formation.
18. Explain the link reaction, including oxidative decarboxylation and conversion of pyruvate to
acetyl CoA and CO2.

Sample data analysis question (from IB QuestionBank)
38. At the start of glycolysis, glucose is phosphorylated to produce glucose 6-phosphate, which is converted
into fructose 6-phosphate. A second phosphorylation reaction is then carried out, in which fructose 6phosphate is converted into fructose
1,6-bisphosphate. This reaction is catalyzed by the
enzyme phosphofructokinase.
Biochemists measured the enzyme activity of phosphofructokinase (the rate at which it catalyzed the reaction) at
different concentrations of fructose 6-phosphate. The enzyme activity was measured with a low
concentration of ATP and a high concentration of ATP in the reaction mixture. The graph below shows the
results.
