Carbohydrate metabolism I
3 important questions on Carbohydrate metabolism I
Which disaccharide do you get when condensation between two glucose molecules occur? And what happens with hydrolysis?
Maltose. An OH-group from one glucose molecule binds with an H-atom of another glucose creates a H2O-molecule and the two glucose molecules bond together with a single O-atom to form maltose. Hydrolysis of maltose is the reversed reaction.
Which two substances are involved in the complete oxidation of pyruvate?
AcetylCoA and citric acid
The efficiency (ouput/input x 100%) of energy transfer from glucose to ATP is:
35%, the remaining energy is released as heat.
