Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of low ATP concentration on the rate of glycolysis needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis is the procedure in which 1 glucose molecule is broken down to produce two molecules of pyruvic acid.

- 1. Discuss the steps involved in glycolysis.arrow_forwardFor every one glucose molecules, how many high energy molecules are formed in citric acid cycle? A. 2 NADH, 0.5 FADH2, and 0.5 GTP B. 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 GTP C. 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 GTP D. 9 NADH, 3 FADH2, and 3 GTP E. None of the abovearrow_forwardHow many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made per glucose put in to glycolysis? How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made per pyruvate put in to the Krebs Cycle? How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made by the Krebs Cycle per glucose consumed by the organism? How many electron carrier molecules in total (both NADH and FADH₂) have been made from a single glucose after both glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle? How many electrons are being carried from glucose at this point (Hint: 2 per molecule)?arrow_forward
- Which of these reactions take place in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration? A. glycolysis B. citric acid cycle C. electron-transport chain D. acetyl-CoA formation E. all of the abovearrow_forwardWhat are the four stages of metabolism?arrow_forwardIf someone has a carnitine deficiency, what effect would this have during the fasting state?arrow_forward
- During exercise, oxygen is used up rapidly which slows down the rate of the common catabolic pathway. which causes Excess pyruvate ends up as painful muscle contrations. A. Acetaldehyde B. Ethanol C. Lactate D. Acetyl COAarrow_forwardGlucose-6-phosphate detours to the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway in erythrocytes because: Question 73 options: A) They lack mitochondria making them incapable of the TCA cycle B) They lack endoplasmic reticulum making them incapable of the TCA cycle C) Erythrocytes have no energy needs D) Erythrocytes utilize glucose directly for energyarrow_forwardAnimals cannot convert fatty acids into glucose because * A.acetyl CoA can not be converted to pyruvate B. absence of malate synthase C. absence of dehydrogenase D. absence of a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenasearrow_forward
