Which substance is the reactant and which is the product when your body breaks down starch into glucose molecules?
A reactant is a substance that is consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. Starch is the reactant and glucose the substance.
Answer:
a) The absence of glucose in diet causes oxaloacetate to drop and also slows down the citric acid cycle.
b) odd numbered.
Explanation:
a) glucose gives out pyruvate through the process of glycolysis, and pyruvate is the main source of oxaloacetate. The absence of glucose in diet causes a drop in oxaloacetate and slows down the citric acid cycle.
b) odd numbered. The conversion of propionate to succinyl CoA provides a medium for both the citric acid cycle and four carbon precursors for gluconeogenesis.
