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 6-phosphate 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.

The respiratory quotient (RQ) is a measure of the metabolic activity of an animal. It is the ratio
of CO2 produced to O2 consumed. In general, the lower the RQ value the higher the energy
yield. The RQ is dependent on the diet consumed by the animal. The following table lists the
typical RQ values for specified diets.
