Chapter 13, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fourth carbon atom of the glucose ultimately converted to carbon dioxide at the very first step of the citric acid cycle.

Concept Introduction:

The carbon which is present in reduced form is the glucose ring or containing hydrogen with it will get oxidized to produce pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid contains 3 carbon in its structure and thus there is the only probability for disconnecting the bond between the C3 and C4 glucose to produce 3 carbon pyruvic acid.
