Does the seed use fructose or starch in fruits for its metabolism?
Seed do not use fructose or starch in fruits for its metabolism.
How fructose differs from glucose in terms of their metabolism?
Fructose is metabolized in the liver by posphorylation with fructokinase; glucose is absorbed anywhere.
How is fructose metabolism handled in the liver?
It is phosphorylated by fructokinase to fructose-1-phosphate, which is then converted into precursors of glycolytic intermediates.
Which is not an end product of glucose metabolism by either aerobic or anaerobic means?
Fructose
Why do molecules of glucose galactose and fructose react differently during metabolism?
Because enzymes can only catalyse reactions of molecules with specific shapes. Glucose, galactose and fructose all have different shapes, so they need to undergo different reactions in order to be metabolised. All sugars are converted to fructose phosphate before metabolism begins. This happens to fructose by phosphorylating it directly, to glucose by phosphorylating glucose, then converting the glucose phosphate to fructose phosphate, and to galactose by converting the galactose to glucose.
Can glucose be found in fruits?
Yes, but it is not available as easily as fructose. Glucose is present in all living cells as the source of energy to produce ATP for metabolism.
Why is glycolysis rapid after infusion of fructose?
Fructose , after being absrobed ,goes through two pathways. Either it forms fructose-6-phosphate (by hexokinase) or it gets phosphorylated to fructose-1-phosphate by fructokinase found in liver.since liver contains much of he fructose obtained from diet fructose-1-phosphate is produced in appreciable amounts. Fructose-1-phosphate is acted upun by ALDOLASE B which breaks it into glecraldehyde and Dihydroxyacetone phosphate. both these enter glycolysis and since reactions catalyzed be hexokinase and epecially PFK-1 have been skipped in Fructose-1-phosphate metabolism hence glycolysis occurs faster ( PFK1 reaction is the main rate limiting step in glycolysis)
What has the author Julia Ann Seitz written?
Julia Ann Seitz has written: 'The effect of glucose and fructose ingestions on vitamin B-6 and fuel metabolism during prolonged, continuous exercise in trained males' -- subject(s): Metabolism, Carbohydrates, Vitamin B6 in human nutrition, Sucrose
What molecule is fructose?
no fructose is not a molecule
Is fructose an electrolyte?
no, fructose is a sugar.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
Which is the bigger carbohydrate sucrose or fructose?
Fructose
