Unit 3 Metabolism Part 2 Flashcards
where does the body store ATP
tissue
where doe the body store carbohydrate
muscle glycogen - 4th most
serum glucose
liver glycogen
where does the body store fat
ADIPOSE tissue - MOST ENERGY STORED HERE
muscle triglycerides - 3rd most
serum triglycerides
where does the body store protein
muscles - 2nd most
where are lipids stored
triglycerides
what are the types of lipids
triglycerides
phospholipids
fatty acids
steroids
fat soluble vitamins
lipoproteins
triglycerides
glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acids
phospholipids form
plasma membranes
lipoproteins
transport lipids through blood plasma
what are common lipid properties
nonpolar
hydrophobic
where are lipoproteins produces
intestine and liver
what is the job of lipoproteins
combine with lipids and transport them so that they can pass through the plasma membrane that is made up of 90% water
What are the good task lipoproteins
- chylomicrons and HDLs
what are the bad task lipoproteins
- VLDLs and LDLs
chylomicrons
- transport dietary lipids to adipose tissue
High density lipoproteins (HDLs)
remove excess cholesterol from cells and transport to liver for elimination - want HDLs high so that total cholesterol can be lowered faster
