Most human cells can use glucose (and other carbohydrates), as well as fats and amino acids, to produce energy. Which of the following statements about energy production is most likely true? a) During energy production, carbon atoms in glucose are reduced to carbon dioxide. b) Cells can obtain a similar amount of chemical energy from glucose in the presence or absence of oxygen. c) Energy present in the bonds of glucose molecules is eventually converted to the potential energy of hydrogen ion (H+) gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. d) More than one of these answers is true.

Transcript

00:01 Okay, you want to answer this question and talk about aerobics respiration.

00:03 Remember that aerobics respiration specifically the catabolism of glucose, you're going to start obviously with a glucose molecule, and it is going to be broken down via the process of glycolysis, where you're going to produce two pyruvate molecule, one pyruid here and another pyruid here.

00:19 So practically two pyruid molecule per glucose molecule.

00:22 After these pyruid, or well, each of these pyruid are going to get inside mitochondrial, and they are going to be converted to acetate coa.

00:33 This process is called pyruvate oxidation, and here you're going to produce one carbon dioxide here and another carbon dioxide here.

00:40 Then each acetyl is going to react with oxalo acidate, and they are going to enter the curve cycle where you're going to produce electron carriers, atp, and also carbon dioxide.

00:49 Okay, so this is about the metabolism or the metabolism of carbohydrates.

00:55 Talking about the metabolism of fatty acids, they are going to be broken down via the process of beta oxidation.

01:05 And this beta oxidation is going to produce acetal co -a in adh and fedh2 that are electron carriers, okay? and this acetateal co -a is going to enter the process of the secret of the grape cycle, and you're going to produce even more electron carriers atp and other carbon dioxide.

01:22 Then we have amino acids, and these amino acids are going to be converted to many of these metabolites of the grape cycle.

01:30 Okay, so this is how they are going to be broken down.

01:34 This question says, most human cells can use glucose and other carbohydrates as well as fats and amino acids to produce energy.

01:40 This is true.

01:42 Which of the following statements about energy production is most likely true? option a says during energy production, carbon atoms in glucose are reduced to carbon dioxide...
