Fats/Proteins

Based on the diagram, gram for gram, the complete oxidation of protein yields about how much energy compared to carbohydrates?

Gram for gram, how does the energy yield of fat compare to that of carbohydrates when both are fully metabolized?

The first step in breaking down fats to produce glycerol and fatty acids is 1($), in which the fat molecules are broken down through the addition of water.

After being converted into PGAL, glycerol from fat hydrolysis is fed into which pathway?

After being broken down into carbon fragments and converted into 1($), fatty acids are fed into the respiratory pathway at the same point as pyruvate-derived acetate.

The hydrolysis of proteins through the removal of the amino group is one of several ways proteins may be metabolized; this method is known as:

True or False: The hydrolysis of protein produces amino acids, which can then be metabolized through several different pathways.

Sort each process by whether it requires oxygen

Sort each process by whether it requires oxygen

Glucose is first broken down by 1($) in the cytoplasm. The resulting pyruvate, if oxygen is present, enters the mitochondria, where it is converted to acetyl-CoA and processed through the 2($), generating electron carriers that fuel the electron transport chain.

Approximately how many ATP molecules can be produced from one glucose molecule when the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are both available, compared to glycolysis alone?
