5. When we eat food, the polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins are digested to smaller molecules such as the glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. As they are broken down further, energy is released. Because we do not use all the energy from our foods at one time, we store energy in the cells as high-energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP). (17 points) Please calculate the ATP yield from the following processes a) glucose 2 pyruvate (Glycolysis) (3 points) b) 2pyruvate c) 2acetyl-CoA 4CO (Two turn of the citric acid cycle) (4 points) d) What is the total amount of ATP produced by the complete oxidation of glucose? (6 points) Points 2acetyl-CoA + 2CO (Aerobic pathway of pyruvate) (4 points)
