Question
Chapter 15, Problem 17E
Summary Introduction
To explain: The comparison between the ATP yields of three glucose molecules of glycolysis with three glucose molecules that enters the pentose phosphate pathway.
Concept introduction: The alternative pathway of glucose oxidation is the pentose phosphate pathway, which includes 2 phases namely oxidative phase and non-oxidative phase. Glycolytic reaction is the process of reaction by which two molecules of pyruvate is formed from the phosphorylation of one molecule of glucose in which a sequence of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions occurs.

Biochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown?
Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver?
For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points.

Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.
You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under
aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.
After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be
labeled with C14? Explain your answer.
Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
