Glycolysis worksheet Flashcards
TRUE glycogen
- stored in the muscle and is used only by the muscle
- storage will increase after a big meal
- stored in the liver is used to regulate the body’s blood sugar
- it is the most branched of all the polysaccharides
Glycogen is stored in
the muscle
and is used only by the muscle
glycogen storage will
increase after a big meal
glycogen stored in the liver
is used to regulate the body’s blood sugar
glycogen is the
most branched of all the polysaccharides
Blood sugar can
all cells can use blood sugar
Red blood cells
can use ONLY blood sugar for its energy
High blood sugar
hyperglycemia
if blood sugar gets too high
excess can be excreted by the kidneys
blood sugar is regulated
by hormones
hypoglycemia can
lead to fainting and shock
hyperglycemia can
cause blindness and cardiovascular disease
glucagon is composed
of amino acids
glucagon is synthesized by
the pancreas
glucagon’s concentration
will be low when insulin’s concentration is high
insulin is
a protein hormone
insulin’s nickname
“feast” hormone
Insulin tries
to lower blood sugar after a meal
insulin will inhibit
glycogenolysis
insulin will also inhibit
gluconeogenesis
insulin will stimulate
entry of glucose into a muscle cell
insulin will inhibit the
breakdown of fatty acids
does NOT occur in “fight or flight”
epinephrine crosses the cell membrane
glycogen is converted to glucose-1-phosphate in the muscles
“fight or flight”
epinephrine stimulates the production of cyclic-AMP in muscle cells
“fight or flight”
cAMP causes the glycogen synthetase to be deactivated
“fight or flight”
glycogenolysis is stimulated
“fight or flight”
which are proteins (polypeptides)
insulin
lactic acid dehydrogenase
glucagon
polysaccharides
glycogen
move through the cell membrane
cortisol
glucose
stimulate fatty acid synthesis from acetylCoA
insulin
stimulate the immediate conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate in the liver
glucagon
stimulate the immediate conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate in the muscle
epinephrine
stimulate the conversion of certain amino acids to glucose in gluconeogenesis
cortisol
glucagon
anabolism
catabolism
