Chapter 18, Problem 18.49AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The below steps in the catabolism of carbohydrates have to be arranged in order.

electron transport chain, conversion of glucose to acetyl CoA, hydrolysis of starch, oxidative phosphorylation, and citric acid cycle

Concept Introduction:

Catabolism is defined as a process in that large biomolecules break down into smaller molecules with release of energy. While anabolism is defined as a process in that larger molecules are formed from smaller molecules and energy is absorbed.

The catabolic pathway for energy production occurs in four stages as follows:

1. Digestion

2. Formation of Acetyl CoA

3. Citric Acid Cycle

4. Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation
