A schematic diagram shows that oxidative metabolism has several entry points for fuel molecules, such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids.
Energy is trapped in the chemical bonds of nutrient molecules. How is it then made usable for cellular functions and biosynthetic processes?

Structure of lignocellulose
The main component of lignocellulose is cellulose, a beta(1–4)-linked chain of glucose molecules. Hydrogen bonds between different layers of the polysaccharides contribute to the resistance of ...
