Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The name of coenzyme involved in pyruvate to acetaldehyde conversion should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
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.

- Classify anabolism and catabolism as synthetic or degradative processes.arrow_forwardMost fatty acids have an even number of carbons and, therefore, are completely metabolized to acetyl-CoA. A fatty acid with an odd number of carbons is metabolized to acetyl-CoA and one equivalent of propionyl-CoA. The following two reactions convert propionyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA, a citric acid cycle intermediate, so it can be further metabolized. Each of the reactions requires a coenzyme. Identify the coenzyme for each step. From what vitamins are the coenzymes derived?arrow_forwardExplain why the conversion of pyruvate to lactate is a reversible reaction but the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde is not reversiblearrow_forward
- What is produced by the reduction of pyruvate in the body under anaerobic conditions? a) acetate b) acetyl CoA c) lactate d) pyruvatearrow_forwardThe catabolism of several amino acids generates succinyl-CoA. Describe the series of reactions that are required to convert mitochondrial succinyl-CoA to cytosolic oxaloacetate that can be used for gluconeogenesis.arrow_forwardIf someone has a carnitine deficiency, what effect would this have during the fasting state?arrow_forward
- What is the name of the enzyme that converts glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate?arrow_forwardOne of the steps that occur during the synthesis of ketone bodies is shown below. OH D-beta-hydroxybutyrate Dehydrógenase .coo coo0 H3C cooo Нас acetoacetate D-beta-hydroxybutyrate Does this process require FAD or NAD*, FADH2 or NADH as the reactant coenzyme? Explain your answer in a few words.arrow_forwardMark any/all processes that are reductions. O FADH2 → FAD O hydrogenation of fats FAD FADH2 NAD* NADH NADH NAD*arrow_forward
- What compound is produced during strenuous exercise, when the muscles are depleted of oxygen? pyruvate carbon dioxide lactate ethanol NADPHarrow_forwardHow many molecules of ATP are obtained from the NADH and FADH2 formed in the beta-oxidation of one molecule of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acyl-CoAarrow_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
