Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To explain where the citric acid cycle occurs and the starting product and end product.
Introduction:
Citric acid cycle is a combination of series of
(b)
Interpretation:
To explain where the glycolysis occurs and the starting product and end product.
Introduction:
Glycolysis is the series of reactions that converts carbohydrates like glucose to energy carrying molecules and Acetyl-CoA.
(c)
Interpretation:
To explain where the Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs and the starting product and end product.
Introduction:
Oxidative Phosphorylation is the process of production of ATP by donating electron from NADH and FADH2 through a series of biochemical reactions.
(d)
Interpretation:
To explain where the fatty acid synthesis occurs and the starting product and end product.
Introduction:
Fatty acid synthesis is the series of chemical reaction that occur in the cell to produce fatty acids from Acetyl-CoA using fatty acid synthase enzymes

Biochemistry
- The normal enzyme required for converting sugars into glucose is present in cells, but the conversion never takes place and no glucose is produced. What could have occurred to cause this defect in a metabolic pathway?arrow_forwardWhat are metabolic pathways catalyzed by? What are metabolic pathways determined by?arrow_forwardDiscuss briefly but concisely the importance of the following metabolic pathway. A. Glycolysis B. Krebs Cycle C. Electron Transport Chain D. Gluconeogenesisarrow_forward
- a) What is the reason for the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway?b) Which compound is converted into which compound in the step where sequential dehydration and hydration reactions occur in the citric acid cycle?c) Why is ammonia released in some tissues carried by binding to other molecules in the blood? Where is it transmitted in the body for its destruction? What molecule is it transferred onto there? So what molecule does it make?arrow_forwardOf the 36 molecules of ATP produced by the complete metabolism of glucose, how many are produced directly in glycolysis alone, that is, before the common pathway?arrow_forwardwhat metabolic process is this, and why?arrow_forward
- Why does glycolysis require ATP investment on a thermodynamic and molecular level?arrow_forwardDoes any step of the citric acid cycle directly produce ATP? Explain.arrow_forwardThe enzymes of the citric acid cycle are located in a. Cytoplasm b. Endoplasmic reticulum c. Mitochondrial matrix d. Nucleusarrow_forward
- Beta oxidation generates substrates for cellular respiration through which of the following processes? a. catabolism of proteins b. catabolism of fatty acids c. catabolism of glycogen d. catabolism of glucosearrow_forwardwhy is cellular respiration catabolic, exergonic, and have a negative change in free energy?arrow_forwardWhat is the amount of ATP yield per one glucose molecule? Is this amount always achieved? If not explain what happens to a cell’s essential metabolites when the requirement for biosynthesis is greater than the cells energy requirement? When the biosynthesis requirement is less than its energy requirement?arrow_forward
