(a)
Interpretation:
From the given figure 21.4 the stages present in conversion of energy from carbohydrates to energy stored in ATP should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy which converts complex molecules into simple ones
Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.
The series of reaction present in these reactions is called as metabolic pathway.
First the consumption of food gets digested which results in production of small molecules.
Glycolysis is a pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two
Pyruvate molecules. It involves totally ten set of reactions with it.
Krebs cycle essentially involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA to
The process of catabolism of fatty acids includes three major parts and they are,
Activation of fatty acid and its transport into mitochondria
Beta-oxidation
Electron transport chain
(b)
Interpretation:
The three places at which the amino acid products join the central metabolism pathway should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Metabolism: The process by which living organisms synthesize energy they required is known as metabolism. Mainly there are two pathways
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy which converts complex molecules into simple ones
Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.
The series of reaction present in these reactions is called as metabolic pathway.
First the consumption of food gets digested which results in production of small molecules.
Glycolysis is a pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2
Pyruvate molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.
Krebs cycle essentially involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA to
The process of catabolism of fatty acids includes three major parts and they are,

- How does the yield of ATP from complete oxidation of onemolecule of glucose in muscle and brain differ from that in liver,heart, and kidney? What is the underlying reason for this difference?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. In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step A) requires the input of energy from ATP. B) requires the input of energy from NADH. C) releases energy which is captured in the form of ATP. D) releases energy which is captured in the form of NADH.arrow_forwarda) How many moles of ATP can be gained from the catabolism of the following substrates to pyruvate? 2 Mole mannose 2 Mole lactose mole glycerol. b) Name three metabolic processes in the cell that are enhanced and two that are inhibited in response to the hormone insulinarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about the transamination and deamination steps of amino acid degradation is true? (A) a-ketoglutarate is always formed during a transamination between an amino acid and glutamate. (B) Transamination reactions produce glutamate that is deaminated after entering the urea cycle. (C) Free ammonia is removed from glutamate using glutamate dehydrogenase and NAD+ as an oxidizing agent. (D) The free NH4+ that is removed from glutamate during the deamination reaction is used to form glucose.(E) The carbon backbone that results from transamination enters the mitochondria to be used in the urea cycle.arrow_forward(a)What are the two superfamilies of proteins in which amylase is categorized? (b)To which superfamily of proteins does active site of the amylase belong?arrow_forwarda) What is the reason for the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway?b) Which compound is converted into which compound in the step where sequential dehydration and hydration reactions occur in the citric acid cycle?c) Why is ammonia released in some tissues carried by binding to other molecules in the blood? Where is it transmitted in the body for its destruction? What molecule is it transferred onto there? So what molecule does it make?arrow_forward
- Three metabolites that can result from the breakdown of the carbon skeleton of amino acids are ketone bodies, acetyl-CoA, and glucose. Briefly describe how each of these metabolites can be produced from amino acid catabolism.arrow_forwardLactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).arrow_forwardConsider the following Statements: (1) Citric acid cycle intermediates are often the products from amino acid carbon skeleton degradation. (2) The net effect of transamination is to collect the amino groups from a variety of amino acids into the amino acids glutamate and aspartate. (3) All of the reactions of the urea cycle occur within mitochondria. how many is truearrow_forward
- a) Identify three differences between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. b) Why should we avoid just seeing these processes of reversals of each other?arrow_forwardOne of the modes of regulation of glycogen metabolism involves the hormonal control by covalent modification of the two pathways’ regulatory enzymes.(a). Name these enzymes.(b). Illustrate the cascade of reactions that governs the inter-conversion of theregulatory enzyme that is involved in the glycogen degradation.arrow_forwardArrange the following pathways in order of their occurrence as source of energy for the body during fasting and starvation: 1. glycogenolysis 2. lipid catabolism 3. gluconeogenesis 4. ketogenesisarrow_forward
