Efficiency of ATP Production in Muscle: The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.
Energy production pathway in targeted by drugs in the malignant (cancerous) cells to control an X cancer type. Use your speculation and tell targeting and destroying which one energy-producing agent of the oxidative phosphorylation will be most effective in blocking most of the energy and why?
Instructions
A glucose molecule is split, converted to ATP (another chemical), which is then used for a runner's sprint. Heat is given off in the process. Describe the changes in energy types from the beginning of the sprint to the end. Would you consider this reaction endothermic?

Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forwarda) Metabolic process in which hexose metabolism occurs? Amount of steps? Since this metabolic process (hexose -> 2 pyruvate) is exergonic. b) But, looking at the individual reactions that makeup this process, they are a combination of exergonic and endergonic reactions.
