Upon digestion of starch, maltose, one of its degradation products, is further hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components prior to intestinal absorption and entry into the glycolysis. Calculate the number of ATP molecules produced from the digestion and complete oxidation of 1 molecule of maltose considering the malate-asparate
Given the following question on the image identify the following:
1. Total number of acetyl coA molecules entering the citric acid cycle
2. Total number of net cytosolic ATP molecules produced right after glycolysis
3. Total number of all NADH molecules produced after complete oxidation
4.Total number of all FADH2 molecules produced after complete oxidation
5. Total number of all mitochondrial GTP molecules produced
6. Total number of net ATP molecules produced after complete oxidation
Maltose is a carbohydrate and it gets oxidized through glycolysis in cytoplasm and through the TCA cycle in the mitochondrial matrix. Glycolysis can occur in the cytoplasm irrespective of the presence or absence of oxygen. The TCA cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix only in the presence of oxygen.
