Tracing the metabolism of one glucose molecule, how many carbon atoms are fully oxidized to CO2 at the completion of the pyruvate oxidation stage?

2

During the citric acid cycle:

ATP is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation.

Each molecule of acetyl-CoA that enters the citric acid cycle carries two of the carbon atoms from the original starting glucose molecule. These carbon atoms will ultimately leave the citric acid cycle as carbon atoms in which of the following?

CO2

Recall that fatty acids (such as palmitic acid) can yield substantially more ATP when compared with a similar weight of glucose. Why doesn't aerobic respiration rely solely on fatty acids as energy sources, rather than glucose?

Fatty acids cannot be used by some vital tissues in the human body, such as the brain.

ATP is not generated directly in the citric acid cycle. Instead, an intermediate is first generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. The intermediate is:

GTP

What happens when glucose is phosphorylated during phase 1 of glycolysis?

Glucose is destabilized so that it can be broken apart in phase 2
