Energy Yield of Protein Oxidation

1 pts
volume_mute
Feeding Fats and Proteins into Respiration Fats hydrolysis (+water) Glycerol Fatty acids โ†’ PGAL โ†’ Acetyl-CoA Proteins hydrolysis Amino acids deamination Glycolysis (PGAL) and Krebs cycle (acetyl-CoA, pyruvate) ATP + CO2 + H2O Fats yield about twice the energy of carbohydrates, gram for gram Proteins yield about the same energy as carbohydrates, gram for gram

Based on the diagram, gram for gram, the complete oxidation of protein yields about how much energy compared to carbohydrates?

Review: Glucose to Carbon Dioxide and Water

2 pts

Glucose is first broken down by (1) in the cytoplasm. The resulting pyruvate, if oxygen is present, enters the mitochondria, where it is converted to acetyl-CoA and processed through the (2), generating electron carriers that fuel the electron transport chain.
