Chapter 8, Problem 27RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The numbering of carbon atoms in glucose molecules and renumbering them in two molecules of pyruvate.
Introduction:
Glucose isa six-carbon molecule, which gets hydrolyzed to three carbon molecules during glycolysis. Multiple enzymes work in the process of glycolysis to cleave the sugar into shorter carbon chains. Glucose is
