Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The role played by coenzyme A in the catabolic oxidation of foods is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Anabolism and catabolism are the two pathways of
(b)
Interpretation:
The role played by FAD in the catabolic oxidation of foods is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Anabolism and catabolism are the two pathways of metabolism. In anabolic pathway, large molecules are formed by the combination of small molecules. Anabolism is totally opposite to that of catabolism process. On the other hand, the catabolic pathway involves the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules.
(c)
Interpretation:
The role played by

- Explain why monitoring blood lactate levels might be a useful technique to gauge the amount of conditioning in an Olympic runner.arrow_forwardWhich nutrient provides energy in its most concentrated form?arrow_forwardOutline the three stages in the extraction of energy from food. What type of chemical reaction occurs most often during digestion?arrow_forward
- What are endorphins?arrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardUsing symbolic formulas such as ADP and PPi, write equations for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP.arrow_forward
