Question 5

what is the 3 stages of cellular metabolism

Answer 5

Stage 1: Breakdown of complex molecules to their component building blocks
Stage 2: Conversion of building blocks to acetyl-CoA (or other simple intermediates)
Stage 3: Metabolism of acetyl-CoA to CO2 and formation of ATP

Question 6

explain stage one of the cellular metabolsim

Answer 6

Proteins are broken down into amino acids.
Starches are broken down into single sugars.
Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol

Question 7

explain stage 2 of the cellular metabolism

Answer 7

The amino acids, single sugars, and fatty acids and glycerol are then converted into acetyl-CoA
This process releases some molecules of ATP as well as some molecules of CO2

Question 8

explain stage 3 of the ceullar metabolsim

Answer 8

The acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle this is to create energy
more ATP is produced, and more CO2 is released as a waste product
the cycle also contributes to the ETC
