Interpretation:
The intermediate formed due to catabolism of carbohydrate, lipids and proteins should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: It is one of the body processes in which food gets converted into smaller particles which get suitable for absorption of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
The series of reaction present in these reactions is called as metabolic pathway.
First the consumption of food gets digested which results in production of small molecules.
Glycolysis is a pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
Pyruvate molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Krebs cycle essentially involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA to
The process of catabolism of fatty acids includes three major parts and they are,
Activation of fatty acid and its transport into mitochondria
Beta-oxidation
Electron transport chain

- Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step A) requires the input of energy from ATP. B) requires the input of energy from NADH. C) releases energy which is captured in the form of ATP. D) releases energy which is captured in the form of NADH.arrow_forwardWhat is the overall number of ATP for every molecule of glucose after undergoing the four stages of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism?
