Concept explainers
Interpretation: To compare the net ATP production from the processing of one fructose and one glucose molecule through the glycolic
Concept introduction: Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down a glucose molecule and converts it into two pyruvate molecules along with the production of ATP molecules and NADH-reduced coenzymes.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of life that provides energy to carry out the metabolic processes in the living cells. After the consumption in the metabolic processes, ATP is converted either to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) or to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Fructose and glucose are monosaccharides with the same molecular formula
