Answer:
So that oxidation of pyruvate can take place in mitochondria.
Explanation:
Pyruvates is produced in the glycolysis process which occurs in the cytoplasm. So pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell. Pyruvate is produced by partial oxidation of glucose and to be fully oxidized it has to enter in the mitochondria.
So after entering the mitochondria the pyruvate first converts into acetyl CoA than this acetyl CoA enters in the citric acid cycle and fully oxidized into CO2. This oxidation generated NADP and FADH2 which provide reducing power during oxidative phosphorylation.
Answer:
A. Catabolic
B.Anabolic.
C. Anabolic
D. Catabolic.
E.Anabolic
F. Catabolic
G. Anabolic
H. Catabolic
Explanation:
Catabolic process is a metabolic processes that breakdown complex or larger molecules into smaller sizes by releasing energy.
The examples of such metabolic processes are;
Glucose is used as the primary fuel for energy
Dietary carbohydrate from a meal is digested and absorbed as monosaccharides, mainly glucose
Dietary protein from a meal is digested and absorbed as single amino acids.
Fatty acids are used as fuel sources for some tissues.
All this processes are catabolic processes because large molecules are broken to smaller ones and all this processes release energy.
Anabolic process is a metabolic process where smaller molecular are build up to form larger molecules and this requires the input of energy.
Examples are;
Glucose is used as the primary fuel for energy
Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
Excess glucose is converted to fatty acids and stored as part of the triglyceride molecule in adipose tissue
Excess tatty acids combine with glycerol to form which are stored in adipose tissues.
All these processes requires the build up of smaller molecules to larger molecules and requires input of energy.
