- Why do carbohydrates contain less energy per gram than fats?arrow_forward30-26 Which one will be digested faster: (a) a raw egg or (b) a hard-boiled egg? Explain.arrow_forwardA molecule that moves electrons from the citric acid cycle to the electron-transport chain is A. tRNA. B. mRNA. C. ADP. D. NADH. E. pyruvic acid.arrow_forward
- Although catabolism of a glucose molecule eventually produces a lot of energy, the first step uses up energy. Explain why this step is necessary.arrow_forward29. The B (beta)-oxidation of a 10 carbon fatty acid will produce molecules of acetyl CoA. a. 10 b. 8 с. 5 d. 2arrow_forwardQuestion 5. The biosynthesis of fatty acids involves an enzyme-catalyzed hydrogenation of an a,ß-unsaturated thioester to the saturated fatty acid intermediate mediated by NADPH+. However, the reverse oxidation reaction during fatty acid metabolism requires a different cofactor FAD. Fatty Acid Biosynthesis a) Draw the structure of FAD. H flocon SCOA H SR + FAD - FADH₂ hydrogenation (reduction) NADPH+, H+ dehydrogenation (oxidation) FAD Fatty Acid Metabolism b) Draw a detailed mechanism of the dehydrogenation of fatty acyl-CoA by FAD (you can abbreviate AD as R). H SRarrow_forward
- Why do marathon runners eat a carbohydrates-rich food a day before the race? Please explain.arrow_forwardRoutine examination of the urine of an asymptomatic pediatric patient showed a positive reaction with Clinitest (a copper reduction method of detecting reducing sugars) but a negative reaction with the glucose oxidase test for detecting glucose. Using these data, show on the chart below which of the sugars could (YES) or could not (NO) be present in the urine of this individual. Sugar Fructose Galactose Lactose Glucose Sucrose Xylulose Yes No.arrow_forward
