After digestion carbohydrates such as glucose are absorbed
After digestion carbohydrates such as glucose are absorbed through
the villi wall and into the blood stream. Write a page paper – Describe in detail how the body then
gathers the energy of glucose molecule at the cellular level. What biochemical
reactions happen in order to harvest the maximum amount of energy? (You can
ignore the PentosePhosphate Pathway
in this essay). How is the energy absorbed and passed along the pathways? For
each of the three main pathways described in lectures discuss the following;
a) Location
b) Enzymes and Products involved
c) Energy-balance
d) Regulation
Your essay should include how each of the pathways relate to each
other and are inter-regulated. You do not have to discuss mechanism of each
enzyme-catalysedreaction in
detail but you need to include what is produced, and used in each reaction and
how the energy of those products could be harnessed further down in the
pathways and converted into a form that can be used in biochemical reactions
through the cell and the body.
