What component is present in every part of a loop, such as one that involves proteins producing energetic molecules from sugars?

| That's an oddly worded question, but I believe the answer would be raw materials. |

| My thoughts were electrons. When talking about the loops I thought she may be talking about the electron rings and the electron configuration. Could be wrong, but sounds like a chemistry question I had last semester. | |

| Interesting. I found this as a multiple choice question all over the net...with the choices being
A. Raw Materials
B. Energy release
C. Energy absorption
D. Information
I found many guesses (I admit, I was guessing from the recesses of my limited Biology memories), but only one attempt at an explanation, here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sciencehelp/message/1135
Tracey, is it multiple choice?
...and are you studying Kreb's cycle?
...suppose this ought to be in homework help too, huh? | |

| If she is studying Kreb's Cycle we would be talking about the Electron Transport System (ETS), or Cellular Respiration.
We start with the substrate glucose which produces Pyruvic Acid and then Acetyl CoA. This is Glycolysis and Transition Reaction.
Tracey24, are you wanting to know where ATP is produced? and How many ATPs are produced. This comes under the heading of Microbiology. | |

| This particular question has been posted at Ask Me about 17 times. Including yesterday and the day before, although always by different "people." It definitely looks like a reference to cellular respiration, I agree with all of you. But it's such a strangely worded question. The people who post these questions don't seem to come back and answer any questions. Is it a game? I'm not sure it matters what the answer it. But I do wonder who posts and why. The one that's part of a list in Biology has 1855 looks but only 5 answers. Why would people look at that question? Is it an internet treasure hunt? Also odd is that the questions do not look as though they written by anyone who understood the science behind them. They are nearly meaningless. | |
