Expert Solution

Step 1
Since you have posted multiple questions with multiple sub parts, we will provide the solution only to the first three sub parts of the first question as per Q&A guidelines. Please repost the remaining question by specifying the sub parts need to be answered.
Six-carbon glucose enters the glycolytic pathway where it is converted into two molecules of 3 carbon pyruvate in a series of enzymatic reactions. Pyruvate is then converted to acetyl CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl CoA enters the TCA cycle by reacting with oxaloacetate.
