Metabolism Flashcards
Citric acid cycle takes place in the
Mitochondria
___________is the metabolic pathway that involves the synthesis of glu ose from non carbohydrates precursor
Gluconeogenesis
Where are amino acid absorbed after protein digestion
Small intestine
In which pathway is atp primarily produced through oxidative phosphorylation
Tca or citric acid cycle
What is the significance of deamination in aminoacid and metabolism
Production of energy
What is the fate of excess nitrogen released during protein breakdown in the body
Converted to urea and excreted in urine
Which organ is primarily responsible for the deamination of amino acids
Liver
Lipo Genesis primarily occur in the
Adipose tissue and muscle
What is the primary function of pentose phosphate pathway
Nadph production
When are ketone bodies produced as alternative fuel sources
During prolonged fasting or low carbohydrates diet
Where does fatty acid oxidation takes place (betaoxidation)
Mitochondria
Anaplerosis and cataplerosis are essential for measuring metabolic balance in cell by
Ensuring sufficient level of metabolic intermediate for cellular function
Anaplerosis is the process for replenishing depleted intermediate in a metabolic pathway True or false
True
Which cellular components is primarily involved in anaplerotic reaction
Mitochondria
Which type of reaction lead to removal of intermediate from the metabolic pathway during cataplerosis
Decarboxylation
Which process s responsible for storage of excess fatty acid n adipose tissue
Adipogenesis
What are the end product in lipid metabolism
Fatty acid and glycerol
Which enzymes are responsible for catalysing the deamination of amino acids resulting in removal of the amino group
Deaminase
