Chapter 16, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of NTP and NADH molecules required to produce glucose from two molecules of pyruvate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Gluconeogenesis is the process of conversion of lactic acid back into glucose. This process uses energy in the form of 6 NTP molecules, hence, it is endogenic in nature. This process is responsible for increasing the blood glucose level when glucose levels fall down in blood.

Glycerophospholipids Phosphatidylethanolamine  1. classify the fatty acids as essential or non-essential and also as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.  2. Calculate the net ATP yield per fatty acid after complete oxidation. Show your solution using a table of pathways, reducing equivalents, and ATP 3. In case the cell is in a state requiring large amount of ATP to support energy-requiring reactions/pathways, assuming that you have 1 mole of each of the said lipids are catabolized and complete oxidized, will the total net ATP yield from these two lipids be higher or lower than the sum of the net ATPs generated from each fatty acid components? Justify your answer in biochemical terms and using 5 sentences or less.
