Example question:

(Answers are at bottom of page)

1. To 2.0 mL of a glucose solution, is added 1.0 mL of a solution containing excess ATP, NADP+, MgCl2, hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The change of absorbance of the final solution (in a 1 cm curvette) relative to the blank reading was 0.91 at 340 nm. The molar absorptivity of NADPH is 6.22 x 103. The concentration of glucose in the original solution is:

  1. 2.2 x 10-2 mol/L
  2. 6.22 x 10-4 mol/L
  3. 2.2 x 10-4 mol/L
  4. 6.22 x 10-3 mol/L
  5. 2.2 x 10-3 mol/L
