- 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_forward10. The breakdown of glycogen to glucose is called O a. glycogenesis Ob. gluconeogenesis O c. glycogenolysis d. hydrolysisarrow_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
- Define each of the following term a. gluconeogenesis b. glycolysis c. isoelectric point d. Active Transport e. Esterificationarrow_forwardHow many ATP molecules (not including GTP. molecules) does a liver cell spend to make one glucose molecule from two pyruvate molecules? 10 2 1 4arrow_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
- Glycolysis, A. is the breakdown of glucose to two pyruvic acid molecules. B. requires the input of two ATP molecules. C. produces two NADH molecules. D. does not require oxygen. E. all of the above.arrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylationarrow_forwardThe metabolic pathway of the citric acid cycle is involved in: a. Catabolism of sugars b. Catabolism of fatty acids c. Catabolism of amino acids d. Anabolism of amino acids, fatty acids and glucose O e. All of the abovearrow_forward
