Question 6

minimum level of energy we need to just stay alive

Answer 6

resting metabolic rate

Question 7

making glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates

Answer 7

gluconeogenesis

Question 8

breaking down glucose to form ATP and pyruvic acid

Answer 8

glycolysis

Question 9

makes glycogen
(glucose added in chains to form glycogen)

Answer 9

Glycogenesis

Question 10

break down glycogen into glucose
happens in liver and muscle

Answer 10

glycogenolysis

Question 11

amylase is specific for what carb linkages

Answer 11

alpha 1,4

Question 12

what 3 things are you breaking down in the fed state for energy

Answer 12

proteins to AA’s
carbohydrates to glucose
fat (TG) to FA’s and glycerol

Question 13

Answer 13

get glucose into cells

Question 14

on lumen side of intestine and brings in glucose + Na+

this GLUT receptor is specific to the brain

Answer 17

GLUT-3

Question 18

GLUT receptor for brain and RBC’s

Answer 18

GLUT-1

Question 19

dependent on glycolysis only for energy; enzyme deficiency leads to hemolysis
