Interpretation:
The intermediate formed due to catabolism of carbohydrate, lipids and proteins should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: It is one of the body processes in which food gets converted into smaller particles which get suitable for absorption of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
The series of reaction present in these reactions is called as metabolic pathway.
First the consumption of food gets digested which results in production of small molecules.
Glycolysis is a pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
Pyruvate molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Krebs cycle essentially involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA to
The process of catabolism of fatty acids includes three major parts and they are,
Activation of fatty acid and its transport into mitochondria
Beta-oxidation
Electron transport chain
