Imagine that you are studying the metabolism of a baby who isfeeding on breast milk. You are going to compare the catabolism oftwo molecules of galactose from the lactose in milk with thecatabolism of two molecules of leucine from the casein of milk.
1. Detail the catabolic path * for the molecules until theirfinal oxidation in CO2 + urea.
2. It includes all the reactions that are carried out and theenzymes that they catalyze.
3. Include the molecular structure and the name of all theintermediaries.
4. All of them must be intertwined. Use different colors forreactions that are (a) only from galactose catabolism (b) only fromleucine catabolism and (3) common to both.
5. Finally, detail the net ATP gain from the complete oxidation of each of the molecules. (Include payment for making the urea molecule.)
