BIO 360 Chapter Notes - Chapter 14: Thiamine Pyrophosphate, Alcohol Dehydrogenase, Ethanol Metabolism
Document Summary
Express alcohol dehydrogenase for ethanol metabolism ( largely used in reverse reaction) Generation of energy catp) without consuming oxygen or nad. Co2 produced in 1st step is responsible for : No net charge in oxidation state of sugars. Both steps require cofactors pyruvate decarboxylase : mg. Production of food from beer , yoejuirt , soy sauce, etc. Reduction of pyruvate to lactate, reversible strenuous exercise , lactate builds up in muscle. Lactate can be transported to liver + converted to glucose. High amount of oz consumption to fuel gluconeogenesis.
