Concept explainers
Interpretation: To identify the pathways that have the remaining stages same after the first stage of glycerol
Concept introduction: Triacylglycerol mobilization is an ongoing process in which triacylglycerols that are stored in the adipose tissue are hydrolyzed. Fatty acids and glycerol are the products of triacylglycerol mobilization. The products are released into the bloodstream.
After entering the bloodstream, the glycerol travels to the kidneys or liver. The first stage of glycerol metabolism occurs in the liver or kidney where it is converted to

- Citric Acid Cycle questions a) Since carbons arrive from glucose via acetyl CoA, what carbons from glucose are in Acetyl CoA? Number them in Acetyl CoA using the original number from glucose. b) Are any carbons from acetyl CoA removed as CO2 during the first "turn" of the citric acid cycle? c) What glucose carbon(s) is (are) the first to be removed as CO2 in the citric acid cycle?arrow_forward15.7) Determine whether each of the following changes is an oxidation or reduction. a) gain of electrons reduction b) loss of electrons oxidation c) Fe²+ to Fe³+ oxidation d) NADH to NAD+ oxidation lost bond to hydrogen atom e) FAD to FADH₂ reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom f) CH4 to CO₂ oxidation gained bonds to oxygen atoms and lost bonds to hydrogen atoms g) NAD+ to NADH reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom EXPLANATION: A useful mnemonic to differentiate oxidation and reduction is the term "OILRIG" (Oxidation is the Loss of electrons; Reduction is the Gain of electrons). It is possible to identify redox reactions for inorganic compounds by inspecting the chemical equation and determining if electrons are transferred from one species to another. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was increased (toward positive) in the conversion of reactants to products, an oxidation occurred. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was decreased (toward negative) in the…arrow_forwardQuestion.
