draw and Identify different types of organic reaction mechanims in the following metabolic pathways. Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA Citric acid cycle Gluconeogenesis pathway (pyruvate to glucose) Catabolism of triacylglycerols- beta-oxidation pathway Biosynthesis of fatty acids from Acetyl CoA Glycolysis (from glucose to two molecules of pyruvate)
Glucose 6-phosphate is in a pivotal position in metabolism. Depending on conditions, glucose 6-phosphate follows one of several pathways. Under what conditions do the following occur?(a) Glycolysis(b) Hydrolysis to free glucose(c) Pentose phosphate pathway(d) Glycogenesis
Under conditions of starvation, acetyl-CoA, instead of being degraded in the citric acid cycle, is converted to acetone and 3-hydroxybutyrate, compounds called ketone bodies that the brain can use as a temporary fuel. Show how the ketone bodies are formed.
