Chapter 24, Problem 24.65E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The glycerol metabolism, after it enters the glycolytic pathway as dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is to be stated. The net reaction for the conversion of glycerol to pyruvate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is a part of the catabolic process in living cells. A catabolic process is a process in which larger molecules are broken down into the less complex molecules. The energy released in glycolysis is used to form the molecules, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
