Concept explainers
Interpretation: To define coupled reactions.
Concept introduction: Common
These stages are included in the common metabolic pathway because the reactions in these stages are the same for different kinds of food.
Electron transport chain is a sequence of biochemical reactions in which electrons and hydrogen atoms from the citric acid cycle are transferred to various intermediate carriers and finally reacts with molecular oxygen to form a water molecule.
Oxidative phosphorylation is the biochemical process for the synthesis of ATP from ADP and

- Why does Glycolysis only release a small amount of the total available energy that can be harvested from glucose?arrow_forward- Part A When blood glucose levels rise following a meal, the events listed below occur. Arrange these events in the appropriate sequence. Arrange the events from earliest to latest. Reset Help Glycogen synthesis Glycolysis replenishes ATP supplies.
