Enzymes involved:
Triglycerides
Chemical reaction:
Enzymes involved:
Fates of digestion products
Storage form of glucose and reaction needed to remove it from storage
Storage of triglycerides and how the products of digestion of triglycerides are transported
Metabolite and precursor in metabolic pathways
Precursors of metabolism
Relationship between the reduction state of a compound and the amount of energy
released
Coenzymes (cofactors) used as acceptors of electrons
How these cofactors are recycled
Characteristics of metabolic pathways
Types of substances humans cannot make and why these substances are called essential
Role of vitamins in metabolism and characteristics of thiamine and niacin
Characteristics of free energy changes in metabolic reactions
Relationship between equilibrium constant and standard free energy
Meaning of standard free energy change
Biochemical standard state conditions
How the actual free energy change is calculated
Components of ATP
What is a “coupled process”
Features of the ATP cycle
Factors that explain the favorable hydrolysis of ATP
Meaning of “high” and “low” energy phosphorylated compounds
Why does ATP have an intermediate position in the table?
The phosphocreatine hydrolysis reaction
The thioesters hydrolysis reaction
Which steps are regulated in a metabolic pathway
