Q

How do we get energy from creatine?

A

Transfer its phosphate to ADP to get ATP

20
Q

What is the ratio between quantity of enrgy sources to their availability?

A

Contrast

21
Q

Does Slow switch fibers contain small amount of mitochondria?

A

No, it has a lot of them

22
Q

Which process fast switch is specializes at?

A

Lactic fermentation

23
Q

Marathon runners need more slow or fast switch fibers?

A

Slow swich

24
Q

Which enzyme is highly present in fast switch fiber muscles?

A

Lactate dehydrogenase

25
Q

In which state the glucose Alanin occurs?

A

Starvation

26
Q

During Cori cycle, which metabolic process is been stressed in the muscle?

A

Glycolysis

27
Q

Which product lS sent out from the muscle to the liver during Cori cycle?

A

Lactate

28
Q

Which product is sent out from the liver to the muscle during Cori cycle?

A

Glucose

29
Q

Why do we want to turn pyruvate to lactate during glycolysis?

A

To earn nad+

30
Q

How turning pyruvate to lactate helps us to do glycolysis?

A

Because we get more nad+ who is essential for step 6 of glycolysis

31
Q

In case of starvation, who is the first that we want give glucose to

A

Brain

32
Q

How can we utilize alpha keto acid?

A

Insert to krebs cycle, In the muscle or make acetyl CoA

33
Q

Which reaction alanine aminotrasterase catalyzes?

A

Glutamate transfer its amine to pyruvate to get alanine

34
Q

In wich tissue we are able to find a lot of alanine aminotransterase

A

In the muscle

35
Q

What is the end product of gluconeogenesis?

A

glucose

36
Q

What are the sources of pyruvate in gluconeogenesis?

A

Lactate and alanine from the muscle

37
Q

What are the sources of gluconeogenesis?

A

Lactate, alanine, glutamine, glycerol

38
Q

Can we get glucose from fatty acids

A

No

39
Q

To which product ketogenic amino acid break?

A

Acetyl CoA

40
Q

What is the major energy source of the liver

A

Fatty acids

41
Q

How can we use acetyl coa

A

Energy (krebs cycle), ketone bodies, build fatty acids

42
Q

How many acetyl coa are there in the original of ketone bodies

A

2

43
Q

What is the by product of generating ketone bodies

A

Acetone

44
Q

Does Keto acyl transfer is present in the liver

A

No

45
Q

Which enzyme breaks down keto bodies and does not present in the liver

A

Beta ketoacyl coa transferase
