Chapter 7(part2) Flashcards
Glycerol can be converted to what
- glucose
- pyruvate
Discuss fatty acid oxidation
- also known as fat breakdown
- breaks down FA into 2 carbon units
Deamination(for proteins)
removing nitrogen
glucogenic
converted to pyruvate
-enter TCA cycle directly
ketogenic
converted to acetyl CoA
Protein is a good source of what unlike fat
cHO
slide 38
replicate
What begins the TCA cycle?
oxaloacetate
Two actual examples of coenzymes
niacin and riboflavin
What glucose yields?
30-32 ATP
what 16 carbon FA yields?
129 ATP
What is fat in relation to energy storage?
the body’s preferred form
What do CHO,PRO,and FAT break down to?
Acetyl CoA
What are the end products?
- water
- Co2
- ATP
Discuss FA in relation to aa,pyruvate and glycerol
-they can make glucose but not FA
FA cannot make what
glucose
Slide 47
replicate
Metabolism favors what formation
fat
What intake influences fuel mix?
CHO and PRO
Fat breakdown does not respond to……
-dietary fat intake
Look at slide 49
ok
Basal Metabolism
- cell’ work to maintain life processes
- 2/3 energy a person expends a day
Fasting:choice vs no choice?
choice
Can the body distinguish between fasting and feasting?
Body can’t distinguish; force to draw on reserves of CHO &FAT
