- Why is Step 3 of glycolysis called the commitment step?arrow_forwardCompare the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of glutamate and methionine, both of which contain five carbon atoms, to CO2.arrow_forwardCalculate the ATP yield for the complete oxiadation of one molecule of palmitic acid. HOw does this figure differ from that obtaine for stearic acid ? consider the beta oxidation steps, processing of acetyl-coa through the citric acid cycle, and electron transportarrow_forward
- How many moles of ATP are obtained from the catabolism of 5g of a triglyceride made of a C16 fatty acid, a C17 fatty acid, and a C24 fatty acid. Use the following molecular mass values for your calculations. H=1g/mol, C=12g/mol, O=16g/molarrow_forwardHow much energy is released as ATP from the complete oxidation of stearic acid (CH3(CH2)16COOH)?arrow_forwardGlucose-6-phosphate detours to the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway in erythrocytes because: Question 73 options: A) They lack mitochondria making them incapable of the TCA cycle B) They lack endoplasmic reticulum making them incapable of the TCA cycle C) Erythrocytes have no energy needs D) Erythrocytes utilize glucose directly for energyarrow_forward
- 1.In the mitochondria, enzymes attached to the membrane use the ______________ to produce a ____________ difference and thus an electrical potential. Making the transfer of _______________ possible a. pH, flow of electrons, hydrogens b. pH, electron flow, oxygen c. electron flow, pH, hydrogens d. Electron flow, pH, Oxygen 2.Which of the following sugars can be a substrate for hexokinase? a.glucose b.fructose c.mannose d.all these e.none of thosearrow_forwardOxidation of one molecule of glucose yields more molecules of ATP than the oxidation of one molecule of lauric acid. Is it true or falsearrow_forwardwhat is the definition of energy from a metabolic perspective?arrow_forward
