Principles of General, Organic, Biological Chemistry, Chapter 18.4, Problem 18.10P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Metabolism of monosaccharides in human body revolves around glucose. It comes from hydrolysis of ingested polysaccharides or glycogen. The pathway that provides energy from glucose is glycolysis pathway. In glycolysis, glucose or monosaccharides with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate in 10 steps.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Precursor of molecule in glycolysis process represented in ball and stick model below has to be determined.

Fatty 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. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylation
Fatty acids cannot be converted into carbohydrates in the body as the following reaction is not possible. (A) Conversion of glucose-6-phosphate into glucose (B) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate O(C) Transformation of acetyl CoA to pyruvate (D) Formation of acetyl CoA from fatty acids
Glycolysis is the first step in the oxidation of fatty acids to produce energy. A) True B) False
