F Flashcards
Glycol aldehyde
the simplest carbohydrates
Glucose
is the only carbohydrates to be directly used for energy or stored as glycogen
Glucose metabolism generates what metabolic products?
pyruvic acid, lactic acid and acetyl coenzyme A
Salivary Amylase (ptyalin) and pancreatic amylase (amylopsin)
breakdown polymers to dextrins and disaccharides.
Disaccharide and dextrins
further hydrolyzed into monosaccharides by specific enzymes.
Monosaccharide Products of
Sucrose
Lactose
Maltose
Glucose + Fructos
Glucose + Galactose
Glucose + Glucose
Glucose-6-phosphate is then shunted into the following metabolic pathways:
Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway)
Glycogenesis
Hexose-monophosphate shunt
Glycolysis
Metabolism of glucose molecule to pyruvate or Lactate for production of energy
Gluconeogenesis
Formation of glucose-6- phosphate from non- carbohydrates sources
Glycogenolysis
Breakdown of glycogen to glucose for use as energy
Lipolysis
Decomposition of fat
Lipogenesis
Conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids
Glycogenesis
Conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage
Most common reducing sugar
Sucrose
primary hormone responsible for the entry of glucose into the cell.
Insulin
