Why is acetyl phosphate considered an energyrich compound bu

Why is acetyl phosphate considered an energy-rich compound but glucose 6-phosphate is not? Besides lactic acid and ethanol, list some other fermentation products that can be produced when glucose is fermented through glycolysis. Why can it be said that the citric acid cycle plays two major roles in the cell? Inscribe the process by which a fatty acid such as palmitate (a C_16 straight-chain saturated fatty acid) is synthesized in a cell.

Solution

1). Micronutrients are those that are needed in low quantities for growth. Zinc, iron, copper, manganese, nickel, boron, molybdenum and cobalt are some of the micronutrients essential for growth of an organism such as a plant or an animal. In humans, cobalt is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12, myelin repair and also in the treatment of anemia.

In contrast, the carbon and nitrogen are the macronutrients because they are the necessary constituents of every structure in a cell. All molecules of a living being are made of carbon skeleton. Nitrogen is an essential element of proteins and nitrogen bases. As the carbon and nitrogen are required in larger amounts, they are called as macronutrients.
