Question
Chapter 11.9, Problem 2MI
Summary Introduction
The enzyme lipase is responsible for catabolism of lipids and fatty acids, which are utilized by the cells as their carbon and energy source. The glycerol is obtained by the breaking of the triglyceride by the lipase enzyme. Later, the glycerol is modified to enter into the Embden-Meyerhof pathway.

plz explain in details.
Organisms must do tasks in order to survive. This work requires either light for photosynthesis or the chemical potential energy of organic molecules as an energy input. Explain the necessity for energy in living organisms and provide two (2) examples. Explain the oxidative phosphorylation process, particularly the involvement of oxygen. Discuss the generation of a low yield of ATP from anaerobic respiration and the formation of lactate in mammals.
Summarize the major features of Embeden-Meyerhof,
pathway. Mention the starting points, the products of the
pathway, the ATP yield and the metabolic role of the pathway.
