Question 4

Describe Glucose metabolism after a meal- kidney

Answer 4

1. Glycose is absorbed from the intestine into the liver
2. Glycose is stored as glycogen
3. excess glycogen= fatty acids which form triglycerides
4. triglicerides can form lipoproteins which leave the liver into the blood stream and can be stored within adipose

Question 5

Describe Glucose metabolism after a meal- muscle

Answer 5

Glucose can be taken up by skeletal muscle and tored as glycogen
- brains main source of energy is glucose

Question 6

Metabolism of proteins after eating

Answer 6

• amino acids are absorbed from the blood to the liver

amino acids are taken up by the liver and made into proteins

Question 7

Metabolism of Lipids

Answer 7

1. Chylomicron are passed through the lymphatic system to the thoracic duct
2. Chymicron enters the blood system via the thoracic duct. in the blood stream the chymicron is broken down into triglycerides
3. triglycerides are absorbed into the liver
4. triglycerides are released as lipoprotein
5. Lipoproteins are used as energy in muscles or stored in adipose
