• Coenzyme A
– Final principal compound
– Acetyl (CCH3CO–)-transporting
molecule
– Contains ADP
CATABOLISM
• Stage I: Hydrolysis of Dietary
Macromolecules into Small Subunits
• Digestive processes
CATABOLISM
• Stage II: Conversion of Monomers
into a Form that can be Completely
Oxidized
– Monosaccharides, amino acids, and
glycerol are assimilated into the
pathways of energy metabolism
• Glycolysis
• Citric Acid Cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
or Kreb’s Cycle)
CATABOLISM
• Stage II: Conversion of Monomers
into a Form that can be Completely
Oxidized
– Sugars – usually enter the glycolysis
pathway in the form of glucose or
fructose
– Eventually converted to acetyl-
CoA, which can be completely oxidized
in the citric acid cycle
CATABOLISM
• Stage II: Conversion of Monomers
into a Form that can be Completely
Oxidized
– Amino groups – are removed from
amino acids
– Remaining carbon skeletons enter the
catabolic processes at many steps of
the citric acid cycle
CATABOLISM
• Stage II: Conversion of Monomers
into a Form that can be Completely
Oxidized
– 3 Major Products
• ATP – chemical energy
• NADH – chemical energy
• 2 three-carbon pyruvate
