Short answer questions. You must show work indicating production or consumption of molecules such asATP or NADH in the various pathways involved in these questions.Consider that a molecule of alanine can be converted to pyruvate by an oxidation reaction that producesone NADH. If the liver is to make a molecule of glucose from alanine, how many molecules of alanine are required?How many ATP equivalents are required?

Glycolysis, A. is the breakdown of glucose to two pyruvic acid molecules. B. requires the input of two ATP molecules. C. produces two NADH molecules. D. does not require oxygen. E. all of the above.
Why must the NADH produced in glycolysis be re-oxidized to NAD +? How is this accomplished aerobically? How is this accomplished anaerobically?
Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
Consider the docosanoic acid, C21H43CO2H Label the alpha and beta Carbons. Draw each acyl CoA derived from this fatty acid. How many acetyl Co A molecules are formed by complete beta-oxidation? How many cycles of beta-oxidation are needed for complete oxidation? How many molecules of ATP are formed from the complete catabolism of this fatty acid? Show the complete computation. How many moles of ATP per gram of fatty acid is formed from the complete catabolism of the given fatty acid? What is the molar mass of the given fatty acid?
Although catabolism of a glucose molecule eventually produces a lot of energy, the first step uses energy. Explain why this step is necessary
