Question
Chapter 17, Problem 35P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for restocking the carbohydrates stores by consuming the carbohydrates. Also, give a reason for the fats cannot be directly converted to carbohydrates to substitute the carbohydrate stores.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis is a catabolic process. In this process, one glucose molecule is converted into two molecules of pyruvate. The energy released during this process is useful in the formation of high-energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules and reduced nicotinamide adenine (NADH) molecules.

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."

- 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…arrow_forwardHi can you help me completearrow_forwardQ How much more ATP is possible from aerobicallyrespiring glucose instead of fermenting it to lactate?Why is this so?

Fructose-2,6- bisphosphate activates phosphofructokinase-1. Fructose-2,6-biphosphate inhibits fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reaction is exergonic.

The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will bearrow_forward
