A carbon atom in a CO2 molecule in the atmosphere eventually becomes a part of one of the enzymes that catalyzes glycolysis in one of your cells.The CO2 first enters a cell in a corn leaf, where photosynthesis fixes the carbon to make it part of a sugar molecule; this travels from the leaf to an ear of corn, where it is stored as part of a polysaccharide __________ molecule in the corn seed.You then eat a corn chip made from the corn seed.You digest the corn seed, and the free __________ travels in your bloodstream, eventually being taken up by a liver cell and stored as __________.When required, this storage molecule breaks down into glucose 1-phosphate, which enters the glycolytic pathway.Glycolysis produces __________, which is converted into acetyl CoA, which enters the __________.Several intermediates in this process can provide the carbon skeleton for the production of __________, which are then incorporated into the enzymes that catalyze steps in glycolysis.
