Q

What happens after fructose and galactose absorption from the GI tract?

A

They are rapidly converted to glucose in the liver via glucose phosphatases; therefore, glucose is the final common pathway for transport/supply of CHO to all tissues

Q

What is option 1 for the fate of glucose in the liver?

A

CHO is processed in the liver, then glucose formation, then transport out of liver to needy tissues for energy use

  1. Glucose has to go through a cell membrane
  2. Glucose foes through a series of reactions inside the cell to produce ATP (glycolysis, TCA)
  3. Hydrogen atoms that are released concurrently yield even more ATP (glycolysis, TCA)

25
Q

How does facilitated diffusion allow glucose to move into most cells?

A

A specialized “carrier protein” in the cell membrane binds with glucose
Glucose transporter “GLUT” are on the outside and release it intracellularly
Glucose moves from an area of high concentration to lower concentration

26
Q

What is insulin?

A

An anabolic hormone secreted by pancreatic β cells

27
Q

What does insulin do?

A

Speeds the process of facilitated diffusion, which makes it a more effective and efficient process

28
Q

Where can glucose transport occur without insulin?

A

RBC
Brain
Liver

29
Q

What is the rate of CHO utilization by most cells controlled by?

A

Rate of insulin secretion

30

A

Brain

34
Q

What are GLUT 4 transporters?

A

35
Q

What is the first step once glucose is in the cell?

A

It must be “locked” in the cell
Phosphorylation via glucokinase or hexokinase
Glucose becomes Glucose 6 phosphate via glucokinase and ATP

36
Q

What is glycolysis?

A

The splitting of glucose to form 2 pyruvic acids molecule

A

Most combine with NAD+ to form NADH+

48
Q

What will happen with NADH+?

A

It will enter into multiple oxidative chemical reaction that form lots of ATP

49
Q

What is the 3rd step for using glucose for energy?

A

Oxidative phosphorylation

50
Q

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

A

The oxidation of hydrogen atoms released from all the previous stages of glucose metabolism

52
Q

How many ATP come from oxidative phosphorylation?

A

30

53
Q

List the amount of ATP and where they come from

A

Total: 34
4 remaining H+ atoms go on to produce 4 more ATP
Total: 38 per glucose molecule
54
Q

Why does glycolysis occur?

A

As means to produce some energy when oxygen is low or unavailable

55
Q

What is an alternative pathway for glucose?

A

Pentose phosphate pathway
