What percentage by weight of triglyceride molecule can be converted to glucose?
The glycerol backbone. The glyceol backbone undergoes metabolism to become glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is one of the reactants in glycolysis. Two molecules of G3P becomes one molecule of glucose in a process that is the reverse of glycolysis called gluconeogenesis.
Can alcohol be made from any glucose source?
Well glucose is all the same either in humans or in a plant. It is simple for glucose to be converted into alcohol via alcohol fermentation like what yeast does in an anaerobic environment.
What substrate is converted into glucose 6 phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase?
Glucose, although only the liver uses a different enzyme, called glucokinase which does the same thing.
Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root
How can one pentose molecule be converted into two C2H5OH molecules and two CO2 molecules like one glucose molecule can be converted to two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules?
Instead of 2 CO2 molecules produced from glucose fermentation, only 5/3 CO2 is released from 1 pentose molecule. 3C5H10O5 ------> 5C2H5OH + 5CO2
How is glucose converted into froctuse by what enzyme?
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
What percentage of carbohydrates can be converted into glucose in the human body?
Once digested, 100% of carbohydrates are converted to glucose. However, approximately 40% of protein foods are also converted to glucose, but this has minimal effect on blood glucose levels.
What happens if you have enough glucose?
The glucose then is converted to it's ready use form glycogen. Then when needed it is converted back into glucose for cellular respiration.
What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
What molecule is pyruvate initially converted in the anabolism of glucose?
Pyruvate is initially converted to oxaloacetate in the anabolism of glucose. That molecule in turn is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate.
How much of the available energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP?
About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
Carbohydrates are converted into?
Glucose
Where does cellular respiration get glucose?
Food... carbohydrates are converted into glucose.
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
What compounds that can be converted into glucose?
Saccharides are the compounds that can be converted to glucose by catabolism. More complex saccharides are starches, cellulose, and gums.
WHY is glucose converted to pyruvate?
glycolysis occur in the cytosol just outside of mitrocondria
