Question
Chapter 16, Problem 50P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the formation and usage of glucose at the same time, by the muscle cells needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Fermentation is the process in which pyruvate is fermented to lactic acid or alcohol. Lactic acid is formed in the lactic acid fermentation process, and alcohol is formed in the alcohol fermentation process. Pyruvate is the end-product of glycolysis process.

. Avidin is a protein that binds extremely tightly to biotin.
Therefore, it is a potent inhibitor of biotin-requiring enzyme reac-
tions. Consider glucose biosynthesis from each of the following
substrates and predict which of these pathways would be inhibited
by avidin.
(a) Lactate
(b) Oxaloacetate
(c) Malate
(d) Fructose-6-phosphate
(e) Phosphoenolpyruvate
Help filling in the blanks:
The malate aspartate shuttle plays many roles in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Malate can be transferred into the cytosol and interconverted in one enzymatic step to produce [oxaloacetate/glucose/PEP/pyruvate] for use in the pathway of [glycolysis/gluconeogenesis]. A product of the urea cycle, derived from aspartate, can also be converted to malate in one enzymatic step and shuttled into the mitochondria so that the urea cycle product can be used in [fatty acid synthesis/the citric acid cycle/β-oxidation]. The amino group from aspartate can be transferred to [oxalacetate/malate/fumarate/pyruvate/a- ketoglutarate] to form glutamate, which is then transported into the mitochondria. In fact many amino acids are transaminated in this way to form glutamate in the cytosol. In this way, incoming amino acids from the bloodstream can be shuttled into the liver mitochondria as glutamate for conversion by glutamate dehydrogenase to [glutamate/a-ketoglutarate…
Use your knowledge of fat metabolism. glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and axidative phosphorylation to determine how many molecules of ATP
eauvalents are produced when glycerol undergoes biochemical combustion. Assume that each molecule of NADH produces 2.5 ATP and that each
molecule of FADH2 produces 1.5 molecules of ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Note that GTP is an ATp "equivalent."
