Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are the
Carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide, and polysaccharide. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrate units that cannot be hydrolyzed further to give the smallest units. Disaccharides contain two monosaccharide units. Oligosaccharides contain 3 to 10 monosaccharide units. Polysaccharides contain many carbohydrate units that vary from 100 to 50,000 monosaccharide units.
In the glycolysis metabolic pathway, a glucose molecule breaks down and is converted into two pyruvate molecules along with the production of two ATP molecules and NADH coenzymes.

Interpretation: To indicate whether aldolase is associated with carbohydrate digestion or the glycolysis metabolic pathway.
Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are the biomolecules composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Carbohydrate molecules are joined together by glycosidic linkage.

- Based on the names of the enzymes participating in glycolysis, what would be the name of the enzyme catalyzing the activation of glycerol? A. Glycerol kinase B. Glycerol dehydrogenase C. Glycerol hydratase D. Glycerasearrow_forwardDuring the overall process of glycolysis, in which of the following occurs for each glucose molecule processed. net loss of two ATP molecules net loss of four ATP molecules net gain of two ATP molecules net gain of four ATP moleculesarrow_forwardIn the electron transport chain, the hydrogen ions enter the inner compartment of mitochondria through special channels formed by A. ATP synthase. B. coenzyme A. C. acetyl CoA. D. oxygen.arrow_forward
- ***In determining glucose concentration using a glucometer, the test involves an enzymatic reaction. What is the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of glucose to gluconolactone? a. Glucose oxidase b. Glucose reductase c. Glucose synthetase d. Glucose peroxidasearrow_forwardGluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate molecules. Which of the following is not substrate for gluconeogenesis? Oa) Lactate Ob) Alanine c) Glycerol O d) Acetyl CoAarrow_forward25. Under anaerobic conditions, yeast produces and alcohol during alcoholic fermentation a. lactate b. CO2 c. glucose d. acetyl CoAarrow_forward
- If 2 monosaccharides undergo dehydration synthesis, what results? O2 separate compounds connected by an intermolecular force O2 separate compounds connected by a chemical bond 1 compound where the 2 cyclic portions are connected by an intermolecular force 1 compound where the 2 cyclic portions are connected by a chemical bondarrow_forwardRefer to the structure 1. The metabolic pathway is an example of a. Oxidative dealkylation b. Reduction c. Oxidative deamination d. Hydrolysis 2. This pathway is true for what kind of drugs a. Endogenous amides b. Endogenous amines c. Radical species d. Endogenous amino acidsarrow_forwardTrypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.arrow_forward
