During feasting, there is an increase in the supply of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the body. Since these macronutrients are in excess, carbohydrates and proteins are utilized or oxidized as a source for energy production. On the otherhand, fats are accumulated as the rate of oxidation of this source does not increase during feasting.
From the given equations, the combustion reaction is;
C₄H₁₂ + 7O₂ --> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Combustion reactions are when organic compounds react with O₂ to produce water and CO₂. From the given reactions, C₄H₁₂ is an organic compound that reacts with O₂ to produce water and CO₂.
Therefore this is the only reaction that follows the general equation for combustion.
The carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the second number of carbon of pyruvate goes to oxidation and convert it to CO2 in Krebs cycle.
<h3>what is Krebs cycle ?</h3>
Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle it is the conversion of sugar to the direct energy in the form of ATP which further goes to mitochondria as it is the power house of the human cell.
Pyruvate molecule release second number carbon from the chain and undergoes oxidation to form the CO2.
Therefore, second number carbon atom will converts to carbon dioxide.
