the amino groups from AA catabolism are eliminated as which of the following molecules
Urea

citric acid cycle
the final common pathway for carbs, protein, and lipid catabolism is the

when fats are catabolized by the liver, some of the acetyl-CoA is converted into
ketone bodies
process of storing glucose
glycogenesis
process of making new glucose
gluconeogenesis
2 things that can be used to make fatty acids
glucose
AAs
absorptive or postabsorptive- glycogenesis and lipogenesis
absorptive
