Although the glycolytic degradation of glucose is a major source of energy, other dietary carbohydrates, such as galactose and fructose, are also important fuels. When being metabolized, fructose and galactose: a. are metabolized by conversion to intermediates in the glycolytic pathway.
b. cannot be degraded by steps in the glycolytic pathway.
c. can be used to form pyruvate by metabolic pathways that run parallel to glycolysis.
d. must first be converted to glucose to be used as fuel.

the answer to your question is tooth decay.

rising temperatures because when water vapor in the air is cooled, it condenses. it turns back into a liquid and attaches to dust particles in the air. these very small water droplets group together to form clouds

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
