3.2 Carbohydrate and Fat Metabolism

Question 1

Metabolism Definition

Answer 1

All the biochemical reactions that occur within an organism

Question 2

Anabolism

Answer 2

Energy requiring reactions whereby small molecules are built up into larger ones

Question 3

Catabolism

Answer 3

Chemical Reactions that break down complex organic compounds into simpler ones with the net release of energy

Question 4

Glycogen

Answer 4

Polysacharide of Glucose that serves as a form of energy storage and energy reserve

Question 5

Glycogen Storage

Answer 5

Primary Storage= Liver

- Skeletal muscle

Question 6

Triglyceride Major Storage Sites

Answer 6

-Adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, Liver

Question 7

Function of Insulin in the formation of glycogen

Answer 7

-Insulin stimulates the liver to store glucose in the form of glycogen

Question 8

Glycogenolysis

Answer 8

The breakdown of the molecule of glycogen into glucose

- Which the body uses to produce energy

Question 9

Lipolysis

Answer 9

Process in which fats are broken down in bodies through enzymes and water

Question 10

Glucagon Function during fasting exercise

Answer 10

Glucagon is released from the pancreas to the liver, signaling the liver to release glucose during extended exercise/fasting

Question 11

Insulin on glucose uptake

Answer 11

Stimulates glucose and fatty acid uptake into adipose cells

-Vesicles containing glucose transporters are mobilized by insulin stimulation

Question 12

Muscle Contraction on glucose uptake

Answer 12

-Exercise=Increase rate of glucose uptake in contracting skeletal muscles
