Electron Transport Chain
The electron transport chain, also known as the electron transport system, is a group of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to create a gradient of protons that drives adenosine triphosphate (ATP)synthesis. The cell u…
Metabolism
Picture a campfire. It keeps the body warm on a cold night and provides light. To ensure that the fire keeps burning, fuel needs to be added(pieces of wood in this case). When a small piece is added, the fire burns bright for a bit and then dies down unl…
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the cellular process involved in the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules from the organic nutritional source obtained from the diet. It is a universal process observed in all types of life forms. The glucose (chem…

Chapter 23, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How is it possible to find 14C labels on newly synthesized glucose that were originally labeled in acetates.

Introduction:

14C isotopic labeling is used to track the passage of an isotope through a reaction, metabolic pathway. Thus 14C labeled acetate can be used to track the carbons that appear on glucose that is produced from gluconeogenesis starting from acetates.
