A single glucose molecule is a
six-carbon compound.
Through glycolysis, one glucose
molecule is converted in to two pyruvate molecule (3-carbon
compund).
Glycolysis takes place in cytoplasm
and enzymes for further glucose catabolism is located in
mitochondria.
Pyruvate can not enter in to
mitochondria, therefore, it get converted to Acetyl Co-A (2-Carbon
compound) with the help of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme and
release one carbon as CO2.
Acetyl Co-A enters in to krebs
cycle and releases two carbon of acetyl Co-A as two CO2.
Hence, For catabolism of one
glucose molecule two rounds of krebs cycle is required.

You are a single molecule of glucose. Describe ALL of the
anatomy that you would see, including transporters and pumps, as
you travel from the afferent arteriole all the way to your
reabsorption back into the kidney tissues. Second, describe all of
