Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP from conversion of glycerol to pyruvate without including the stage 4 present in catabolism should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
pyruvate molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP from conversion of glycerol to pyruvate including the stage 4 present in catabolism should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
pyruvate molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally polymerized to give new proteins.
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps chemical reaction to occur.
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
