Question

Which statements accurately describe how fructose metabolism in the liver differs from glucose metabolism?

Answer 1

The fructose 1-phosphate pathway can deplete intracellular phosphate/ ATP.

Explanation:

Fructose 1-phosphate is a derivative of fructose. For understanding in better way fructose metabolism has three enzymes. Fructose- bisphosphate aldolase B, fructokinase and Adenosine triphosphate. These all are present in liver and kidney of human as well rat. In liver rapidly fructose is change to fructose 1 through fructokinase.

After it is converted into trioses dihydroxyacetone phosphate as well as glyceraldehyde through aldolase.  With glucose metabolism Fructose get synergistic effect
