Sucrose is split into its two monosaccharide units—glucose and fructose—which can readily enter the glycolytic pathway. Two pathways for the splitting of sucrose are known in plants, both of which take part in the use of sucrose from phloem unloading; Invertase pathway and sucrose synthase pathway, some statements are given about these pathways, which of the following is incorrect?

#SCPH05 I Biotechnology
  1. Invertases hydrolyze sucrose in the cell wall, vacuole, or cytosol into its two component hexoses glucose and fructose
  2. sucrose synthase combines sucrose with UDP to produce fructose and UDP-glucose in the cytosol
  3. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase then converts UDP-glucose and pyrophosphate (PPi ) into UTP and glucose 6-phosphate
  4. The sucrose synthase reaction is close to equilibrium, the invertase reaction is essentially reversible, driving the flux in the forward direction

Phenyl-methane-sulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF) inactivates serine proteases by binding covalently to the catalytic serine residue at the active site; this enzyme-inhibitor bond is not cleaved by the enzyme.  This is an example of what kind of inhibition?

Both water and glucose share an —OH that can serve as a substrate for a reaction with the terminal phosphate of ATP catalyzed by hexokinase.  Glucose, however, is about a million times more reactive as a substrate than water.  The best explanation is that:
