Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and t…
Glucogenesis
Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general  definition for glucogenesis or glucon…

Chapter 23, Problem 51P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the reaction occurring in stage [4] of catabolism to be known as aerobic respiration needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The term catabolism refers to a set of metabolic processes that are responsible for the breaking down of large molecules. This includes the breakdown and oxidation of larger food molecules. The term aerobic respiration refers to the production of cellular energy by the involvement of oxygen. The breaking down of the food by the cells in the mitochondrion by a long multistep process generates about 36 ATP molecules.
