Upon digestion of starch, isomaltose (an isomer of maltose), one of its degradation products, is further hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components prior to its intestinal absortion and entry into the glycolysis. Calculate the no. of ATP molecules produced from the digestion and complete oxidation of 1 molecule of isomaltose considering the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle. Answer the ff.: a) Total no. of glucose molecules entering glycolysis b) Total no. of pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis c) Total no. of mitochondrial NADH produced after pyruvate is acted upon by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex d) Total no. of CO2 released right after the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction e) Total no. of acetyl-CoA molecules entering the citric acid cycle f) Total no. of net cytosolic ATP molecules produced right after glycolysis g) Total no. of all NADH mols. produced after complete oxidation h)Total no. of all FADH2 mols. produced after complete oxidation i) Total no. of all mitochondrial GTP molecules produced j) Total no. of net ATP mols. produced after complete oxidation
