glycogenolysis

Question 10

when glucose is formed from non-carbohydrate precursors like amino acids, fatty acids, and pyruvic acid, it is known as…

Answer 10

gluconeogenesis

Question 11

Answer 12

glycolysis

Question 13

_________ muscle is more adapted to anaerobic metabolism than other muscle types

Answer 13

skeletal

Question 14

______ blood cells solely rely on anaerobic metabolism because they don’t want to use the oxygen they are transporting

Answer 14

red blood cells

Question 15

glycolysis occurs in the _______ of the cell

Answer 15

cytosol

Question 16

the net yield of glycolysis is:

Answer 16

2 ATP and 2 NADH

Question 17

when no oxygen is available during glycolysis, pyruvic acid molecules are converted to _____ ______

Answer 17

lactic acid

Question 18

lactic acid can be converted by two pyruvic acid in the liver in the _____ cycle

Answer 18

Cori cycle

Question 19

when oxygen is available during glycolysis, the pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria and is converted to acetyl-CoA and yields 2 NADH

Answer 19

intermediate step
