Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Which is oxidized to a greater extent in glycolysis process, it should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis process: This process breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
This process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic
Glucose is a six membered ring molecule founded in the blood and is usually a result of the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.
(b)
Interpretation:
To draw and identify the oxidizing or reducing agents are involved in glycolysis process.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis process: This process breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
This process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, in the glycolysis glucose is converted into pyruvate.
Glucose is a six membered ring molecule founded in the blood and is usually a result of the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.

- Study Figure 19.18 and decide which of the following statements is false. Pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by· NIADH. Pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by AΤΡ. Citrate synthase is inhibited by NADH. Succinyl-CoA activates citrate synthase. Acetyl-CoA activates pyruvate carboxylase.arrow_forwardHow does the yield of ATP from complete oxidation of onemolecule of glucose in muscle and brain differ from that in liver,heart, and kidney? What is the underlying reason for this difference?arrow_forwardTwo carbon atoms are fed into the citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA. In what form are two carbon atoms removed from the cycle?arrow_forward
- What is the ATP yield from the oxidation of one molecule of nervonic acid?arrow_forwardHow many steps in gluconeogenesis are not the exact reversal of the steps in glycolysis? What kind of conversion of substrate to product does each involve? What is the common theme in each of these reactions?arrow_forwardHow many moles of acetyl-CoA are produced by the complete catabolism of 1 mol of sucrose?arrow_forward
- What is the final fate of the carbons in acetyl-CoA after several turns of the citric acid cycle?arrow_forwardThe glycerol derived from lipolysis of triacylglycerols is converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, which then enters into step 6 of the glycolysis pathway. What further transformations are necessary to convert glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate into pyruvate?arrow_forwardWhat is the common metabolic pathway of Acetyl-CoA, the TCA Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain (ECT).?
