Chapter 28, Problem 10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the enzymes that combine two C₃ compounds into a C₆ compound in glycogenesis the same as or different from those that are cleave the C₆ compound into two C₃ compounds in glycolysis should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins undergo metabolism to yield energy. Carbohydrates undergo glycolysis, and the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate. However, carbohydrate metabolism does not end here, it enters into the citric acid cycle to produce ATP.
