What is the formation of a new glucose molecule?
A new glucose molecule is formed through the process of photosynthesis in plants. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen using sunlight as the energy source. This process involves a series of chemical reactions that take place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
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?
Pentose molecules undergo a similar process as glucose to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide through fermentation. In a series of enzymatic reactions, pentose is converted to pyruvate, which is then converted to acetaldehyde and finally to ethanol. During this process, CO2 is released as a byproduct. The net result is the production of two ethanol molecules and two CO2 molecules from one pentose molecule.
Describe how a carbon atom in a carbon dioxide molecule in the air could become part of a starch molecule in a carrot root?
The carbon atom in a carbon dioxide molecule is absorbed by the carrot root through photosynthesis, where it is converted into glucose. The glucose molecules can be linked together through dehydration synthesis to form starch, which serves as a storage molecule in the carrot root.
What is the number of carbon atoms in a molecule of glucose?
C6 H12 O6 being the molecular formula of glucose, the carbon atoms are 6 in one molecule of glucose.
How many atoms of oxygen are in a molecule of glucose(C6H12O6)?
There are 6 atoms of oxygen in a molecule of glucose (C6H12O6).
Approximately what percentage of triglycerides CANNOT be converted to glucose?
Approximately 10-15% of triglycerides cannot be converted to glucose. These triglycerides are primarily stored in adipose tissue and are used for energy production through beta-oxidation in the liver, rather than being converted to glucose.
In a triglyceride that contains 54 carbon atoms how many can become part of gulcose?
Of the 54 carbon atoms in a triglyceride, 18 can potentially be converted into glucose. Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms.
What molecule is pyruvate initially converted in the anabolism of glucose?
In the anabolism of glucose, pyruvate is initially converted into phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) through the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase. PEP is an important intermediate in the gluconeogenesis pathway, which synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors.
What is the molecule that enters glycolisis?
Glucose is the raw material. It is converted into pyruvate.
What is the first stage of glycolisis?
Glucose is converted into Glucose 6 phosphate. One ATP molecule is used.
If each molecule contains 53.3 oxygen and 6.7 hydrogen by mass what percentage of each glucose molecule is made up of carbon?
The percentage of carbon in glucose is 40 %.
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 percentage of stored body fat is triglycerides?
"glycerol can yield glucose, but that represents only 3 of the 50 or so carbon atoms in a triglyceride-about 5% of its weight. The other 95% cannot be converted to glucose." Understanding Nutrition 11th Ed. pg 223 Hope that helps... I had that question too...
Can you convert fat to glucose?
yes in fasted states (or when you have used your glycogen stores), glucagon or adrenaline can breakdown stored triglycerides (in adipose tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol goes to the liver when it is involved in gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non-carb source). This is essentially a reversal of glycolysis: The glycerol molecule is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which then is converted to fructose 1,6 biphosphate and then after a number of steps, is converted to glucose. I dont think the glycerol molecule is converted to pyruvate, but instead joins in the pathway at the step decribed above.
In glycolysis what is converted to two pyruvates?
One glucose molecule is converted to two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis.
The first stage of cellular resperation is?
Glycolysis, in which glucose molecule is converted into pyruvic acid (pyruvate).
What are the two main parts of a triglyceride?
A head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic (polar) and the tail is hydrophobic (nonpolar) .
