Consider ten glucose molecules that enter a cell. How many ATP can be generated by the complete catabolism of these into CO2 and H2O? If all ten are first incorporated into glycogen, liberated from glycogen, and then fully catabolized into CO2 and H2O, does the ATP tally increase, decrease or stay the same? Consider that 1 UTP = 1 ATP. Explain. Describe the processes which produce ATP and provide a balanced equation of glucose, CO2, H2O and O2
One example of a stage 2 reaction in the heterotrophic breakdown of food molecules is: the extracellular digestion of amylopectin into glucose monomers the intramitochondrial digestion of fatty acids into carbon dioxide and water the intracellular digestion of glucose monomers into pyruvate the extracellular digestion of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol the extracellular digestion of polypeptides into amino acids   Identify the three-carbon glycolysis intermediate which can be formed, in the cytoplasm, in one enzymatic step (during deamination of the amino acid alanine)? pyruvate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate fructose glucose-6-phosphate glucose
How does the presence of a-bonds versus B-bonds influence the digestibility of glucose polymers by humans?Hint: There are two effects.
