Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of ATP molecules that are produced from the complete oxidation of 1 glucose molecule during the glycolysis process.
Concept introduction: In the glycolysis
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is defined as the energy currency of life and provides energy to carry out the metabolic processes in the living cells.
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the number of ATP molecules that are produced from the complete oxidation of 1 glucose molecule during the oxidation of pyruvate.
Concept introduction: Pyruvate is the end product in the glycolysis. The production of the fate of pyruvate varies with the nature of the organism and the cellular conditions. The common fates of pyruvate are as follows:
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is defined as the energy currency of life and provides energy to carry out the metabolic processes in the living cells.

- Short answer questions. You must show work indicating production or consumption of molecules such as ATP or NADH in the various pathways involved in these questions. Consider that a molecule of alanine can be converted to pyruvate by an oxidation reaction that produces one NADH. If the liver is to make a molecule of glucose from alanine, how many molecules of alanine are required? How many ATP equivalents are required?arrow_forwardBased 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_forward3.arrow_forward

Provide the biochemical basis of rigor mortisarrow_forward
- For 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_forwardMuscle does not provide glucose for the brain during times of starvation. Why? You may choose more than one answer. Muscle lacks sufficient glucose stores. Muscle uses the glucose for movement to go find food. Liver provides glucose for brain Glucagon prevents the secretion of glucose Muscle lacks the enzymes necessary to produce free glucosearrow_forward
