(b)
Interpretation:
The fate of fatty acids and the energy requirements of the body have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When the body starves for prolonged periods or when the diets are carbohydrates restricted in such a situation, the different organs such as brain and heart get inadequate glucose. Thus the human body has evolved a manner to replenish the inadequacy of glucose. In such a situation, the
(c)
Interpretation:
The role of the mitochondria in lipid metabolism has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lipid metabolism is essentially the digestion and absorption of highly concentrated energy sources. The chief component of this metabolism is triglycerides. Triglycerides are essentially the derivatives of glycerol where the terminal alcoholic groups are replaced by ester groups by esterification with long fatty acids and are therefore hydrophobic.
