Question
Answer
How is excess glucose stored?   Glycogen  
🗑
Where is the glucose stored?   In liver and skeletal muscles  
🗑
When is the glycogen formed?   1st glycolysis step  
🗑
Where is glycogen broken down?   Liver  
🗑
Why is glucose important in our body?   Needed for nervous system functioning  
🗑
Can a fat molecule become glucose?   NOOOOOO  
🗑
What are adipocytes?   Fat cells, where the majority of energy is stored as triglycerides during food uptake  
🗑
At rest, where does half of our energy come from?   from fat breakdown  
🗑
How much ATP can we get when we break down one fatty acid?   146 ATP molecule  
🗑
Can glucose become fat? How so?   Yes!! Too much sugar makes me fat. You'd need intermediates like pyruvate or acetyul coA  
🗑
What does the process of fat breakdown begin with?   Beta oxydation  
🗑
What is this process?   Split off a Acetyl co-A from fatty acid to transfer 2 hydrogen atoms  
🗑
Where do the by-products of the beta oxydation feed into?   Krebs cycle-->ETC  
🗑
PROTEIN BREAKDOWN   PROTEIN BREAKDOWN  
🗑
What breaks the peptide bonds in the proteins?   Enzyme protease  
🗑
How is the amino group in the amino acid removed?   Deamination and transamination  
🗑
What is the process of deamination?   Amino group gives rise to a molecule of ammonia and is replaced by an oxygen atom derived from water (KETO)  
🗑
What is transamination?   Transfer of the amino group of an amino acid to a KETO  
🗑
What does transamination result in?   An amino acid  
🗑
What happens to the rest of the amino acid once the amino group is removed?   It can enter the krebs cycle  
🗑
What is a major waste product of protein catabolism?   Urea  
🗑
Do we get a lot of ATP from protein catabolism?   NOpe  
🗑
Our bodies can make how many amino acids?   11  
🗑
Where can we get the rest?   From food we need (need variety of food)  
🗑
Can we do this reaction: Acetyl-Co A-->pyruvate?   No, the reaction of pyruvate to acetyl coa is irreversible  
🗑
What are the categories of the essential nutrients?   20 mineral elements, 2 fatty acids, 14 vatamins, and 9 amino acids  
🗑
Can a fatty acid be converted to glucose?   NO!!! B/c you can't reverse going from pyruvate to acetyl co-A  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
