Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.40AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Depending on the body needs into what type of compounds is glucose converted in the pentose phosphate pathway should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: A general for the breakdown of food into small molecules, digestion entails the physical grinding, softening and mixing of food as well as enzyme catalysed hydrolysis of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Digestion begins in the mouth contains in the stomach and conclude in the small intestine.
The
Chemical reaction in digestion:
- 1. The conversion of carbohydrates into such simple sugars as glucose
- 2. Breaking down of protein into such amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins.
- 3. The conversion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
