Interpretation:
It should be determine that one more ATP is produced when glucose is obtained from glycogen rather than use directly from the blood.
Concept Introduction:
Catabolism: This process by which a living organism obtains it is energy and raw materials from nutrients.
Anabolism: Process by which energy and raw materials are used to build macromolecules and cellular structures
Glycogenolysis: This occurs in the liver, when Blood sugar level falls. ATP production is not takes place during Glycogenolysis.
ATP production: This energy is used by enzymes to unite ADP with phosphate ions to from ATP, the energy is trapped in the high-energy bond of ATP by this process and the ATP molecules are made available to perform cell work.

Please note where each one occursarrow_forward
- THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ATP PRODUCED IN GLYCOLYSIS AND THE CITRIC ACID ISarrow_forwardComplete catabolism of one glucose molecule yields 38 ATP molecules. How many moles of ATP are produced by the complete catabolism of 10 moles of glucose?arrow_forwardDefine Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis. How GLYCOLYSIS and GLUCONEOGENESIS does reciprocally regulated in the body? Explain it.arrow_forward
- Explain what is the relationship between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?arrow_forwardPlease explain why hydrolysis of ATP can release much energy by describing how the products of ATP hydrolysis are more stable. Please describe how ATP hydrolysis is used for glucose absorption (i.e. picking up glucose from the small intestine into epithelial cells)arrow_forwardOne molecule of dietary glucose can be oxidized through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to generate a maximum of 32 molecules of ATP. Calculate the fraction of this energy that is lost when the glucose is stored as glycogen before it is catabolized.arrow_forward
- Epinephrine, a hormone found in the adrenal gland, stimulates the skeletal muscles to produce glucose-6-phosphate. What is the intended purpose of most of the ATP produced from this reaction?arrow_forwardGlucose is stored in the liver as glycogen and is effectively the reserve required to maintain blood glucose levels for the brain. Explain how a product of the glycogen phosphorylase reaction is moved to the blood as glucose.arrow_forwardGlycolysis and gluconeogenesis are reciprocally regulated, determine how each of the following intermediates; low ATP levels and high cholesterol levels, will affect glycolysis.arrow_forward
