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.

- The liver, but not the brain or muscle cells, has the capacity to supply free glucose to the blood. Explain.arrow_forwardClassify anabolism and catabolism as synthetic or degradative processes.arrow_forward18. Amino acids that are degraded into are termed ketogenic. O a. a-ketoglutarate b. oxaloacetate c. fumarate d. acetyl CoAarrow_forward
- What metabolic pathway does melatonin take? what organs in particular does it affect?arrow_forwardIn which direction do protons move through ATP synthase? a. from the intermembrane space to the matrix of a mitochondrion b. from the matrix to the intermembrane space of a mitochondrion c. from the inner membrane to the outer membrane of a mitochondrion d. from the outer membrane to the inner membrane of a mitochondrionarrow_forwardThe role of oxygen in aerobic respiration is to A. form water that is the medium of all chemical reactions B. combine with free electrons and hydrogen ions from the electron transport chain C. provide transport of electrons from the cystol across the inner membrane of mitochondria D. combine with carbon to form carbon dioxidearrow_forward
- How many molecules of ATP are obtained from the complete (including the fourth stage of catabolism) metabolism of one molecule of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acyl-CoA?arrow_forwardHow many molecules of ATP are obtained from the b-oxidation of one molecule of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acyl-CoA?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_forward
- What are the four stages of metabolism?arrow_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_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_forward
