Biochemistry Question- Glucose

[kingbm]

Please name 2 of the major building blocks that are derived from glucose and what macromolecules are those building blocks used to make to support cell growth and proliferation?

 

I thought the major building block would be pyruvate? What would be the second major building block?

 

Also I thought that pyruvate would be used to synthesize DNA and Fatty Acids.

 

Feedback or your ideas is much appreciated as I am studying for a midterm.

 

Thanks

I think ATP may be the other answer they are looking for.

I think it could be amylose and cellulose. Amylose is considered as storage polyssacharide and cellulose as a structural one.

Either way, good luck with your midterm

Lucy, biochemistry

You can take commercial link removed for the same.

That is a very open-ended question IMO. I might be tempted to answer ATP and NAD(P)H. However, ribose phosphate may be derived from glucose.
