Q

CARBOHYDRATES

A

Organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which includes starches, cellulose, and sugars, and are an important source of energy. All carbohydrates are eventually broken down in the body to glucose, a simple sugar.

Q

GLYCOGEN

A

The complex carbohydrate molecule used to store carbohydrates in the liver and muscle cells. When carbohydrate energy is needed, glycogen is converted in glucose for use by the muscle cells.

A

One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body. Fats help the body use some of the vitamins and keep the skin healthy. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food, there are two types of fats, saturated and unsaturated.

Q

BETA OXIDATION

A

The breakdown of triglycerides into smaller subunits called free fatty acids (FFAs) to convert FFA’s into acyl-CoA molecules, which then are available to enter the Krebs cycle and ultimately lead to the production of additional ATP.
