Anyone studying for finals?
I was just reviewing the answer key to exams and noticed this
>key
>As shown in the scheme for the answer to Question B.3.a., the breakdown of glycine into NH3 and H4folate-CH2OH produces CO2, which immediately hydrates to HCO3- and H+. Thus, the glycine cleavage enzyme produces the bicarbonate that can be used catalytically by pyruvate carboxylase to produce OAA and then PEP.
>my answer
>Glycine already produces bicarbonate in its breakdown process by the cleavage enzyme.
>my score: 0/2

wut? I thought I did pretty well so I didn't really bother to check the answers, but wtf?

Looks like they wanted you to list the specific products and whatnot to keep you from just tossing out a theory (a guess)

real OP here. AP bio is piss easy.
the question was:
>In contrast, the conversion of glycine to glucose does not require catalytic amounts of added bicarbonate. Explain why?
and tomorrow is the final.

Have an A bro, actually, and at private schools an opportunity to skip a year in favor of taking a more engaging class freshman year in college is the norm; we don't have to take the test at all if we don't want to, it's completely independent of our course grade.

Good luck to the rest of you, though.
