Chapter 23, Problem 20P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The stage of the catabolism in which monosaccharide is converted to acetyl CoAis to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Catabolism has the tendency to release energy so as to supply it to the body by breaking the large molecules into smaller ones and it proceeds via number of catabolic pathways. Catabolism of the food which is eaten by the human beings starts with the digestion process. It is then passed through the formation of acetyl CoA, then the citric acid cycle and then gets ended with the release of energy in the electron transport chain as well as oxidative phosphorylation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The stage of the catabolism in which hydrolysis of triacylglycerol takes place with lipase is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Catabolism has the tendency to release energy so as to supply it to the body by breaking the large molecules into smaller ones and it proceeds via number of catabolic pathways. Catabolism of the food which is eaten by the human beings starts with the digestion process.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The stage of the catabolism in which oxygen reacts with electrons and protons to form water is to be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The stage of the catabolism in which succinate is converted to fumarate in the presence of FAD is to be determined.
