Chapter 27, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of an altered NAD+/NADH ratios and the basis of this effects should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The heart is at highest risk if excessive alcohol is consumed as it increases the acyl glycerol levels in the blood which is a sort of fat. The high level contributes to the development of dangerous health conditions like heart condition and polygenic disease.

- Understanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forwardThe Effect of lodoacetic Acid on the Glyceraldehyde-3-P Dehydrogenase Reaction (Integrates with Chapters 4 and 14.)
