Question
One molecule of dietary glucose can be oxidized through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to generate a maximum of 32 molecules of ATP. Calculate the fraction of this energy that is lost when the glucose is stored as glycogen before it is catabolized.

How many ATP are produced when glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, compared to when glucose is oxidized to $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} ?(18.4,18.5,18.6)$
Metabolic Pathways and Energy Production
Degradation of Amino Acids
When glucose is oxidized by the body to generate energy, part of the energy is used to make molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). However, of the total energy released in the oxidation of glucose, only $38 \%$ actually goes to making ATP. What happens to the rest of the energy?
