How should the nutritionist explain why fats cannot be directly converted into carbohydrates?

a. glucose can be created from pyruvate by gluconeogenesis. however, pyruvate generated from fats occurs via the citric acid cycle. because carbons from fats must enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl coa first, fats can only indirectly become carbohydrates.
b. during gluconeogenesis, glucose is created from oxaloacetate. however, oxaloacetate generated from fats occurs via the citric acid cycle. because carbons from fats must enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl coa first, fats can only indirectly become carbohydrates.
c. glucose can be created from pyruvate via gluconeogenesis, and fats enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl coa. however, any acetyl coa entering the citric acid cycle must be released as co 2 . thus, fats cannot be used for synthesis of carbohydrates.
d. the concentration of various intermediates control the activity of metabolic enzymes. although oxaloacetate is converted into glucose via gluconeogenesis, pyruvate carboxylase is inhibited by oxaloacetate concentrations in the fasting state.

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.
