Is the sum of all chemical and physical processes by which the body breaks down and builds up molecules
Metabolism
The primary high energy molecule in human metabolism is
ATP
What is the end product after glucose undergoes glycolysis
Pyruvate
In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted to
Lactic acid
The catabolism of triglycerides is called
Lipolysis
Occurs in the mitochondria
Occurs in a cell
TCA and ETS
Glycolysis
Organic molecule that combines with an enzyme to activate it
Series of reactions needed to transform food into a final product
All reactions by which the body obtains and expends energy from food
Coenzyme
Energy metabolism
Metabolic pathways
In energy metabolism, glycerol can convert to
Glucose or pyruvate
When the carbohydrate Contant of the diet is insufficient to meet the bodies need for glucose, which of these compounds can be converted to glucose
Amino acid
Which of these statements about the electron transport chain is true
It captures energy in the ATP bonds
Which of the following statements is not true of pyruvate
Only follows one path
What is a reason that fat yield more calories and carbohydrates or protein
Fat contains many carbon hydrogen bonds that can be readily oxidized
Converts fructose and galactose to glucose
Convert excess glucose to fatty acids
Makes glucose and some amino acids and glycerol when needed
Breaks down fatty acids for energy when needed
Makes ketone bodies when necessary
Detoxifies drugs and alcohol
Liver
Which of the following is true about excess protein intake
Proteins oxidation is increased
What is a feature of surplus dietary fat
Almost all excess fat is stored
