Interpretation:
Lines should be drawn from the appropriate phrases in column A to appropriate phrases in column B and C.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-
Fatty acids are activated to acyl CoA by thiokinases or acyl CoA synthetases.
Carbohydrate
- (1) Insulin – Stimulates glucose consuming process to decrease blood glucose level.
- (2) Glcogon – Inhibits glucose consuming pathways to increase blood sugar level.
- (3) Epinephrine

- Eating non-fibrous carbohydrates can cause a cycle of glucose dependenceand hunger represented by a glucose crash. Explain this situation showing the levels of insulin and blood glucose under this situationarrow_forwardyou follow a carbohydrate-free diet, certain metabolic problems occur. Describe glucogenesis and the problems that may arise from this prolonged glucogenesis state.arrow_forwardFrom this discussion of the hormonal regulation of glycogen metabolism. Read this material and summarize in no more than one page. Use figures and frame your narrative in terms of the picture. No resources other than the text are required or desirable.arrow_forward
- Omega - 3 fatty acids reduce triglyceride levels. True or falsearrow_forwardSaponification is a process by which triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed to produce glycerol and fatty acid salt by the action of a strong acid. True Falsearrow_forwardPlease answer the following question: Answer the following questions about Glygogen Metabolism: (But DON’T Just think about glycogen here!) a. After a carbohydrate-filled breakfast, your blood glucose levels increase. How does glucose affect liver glycogen phosphorylase activity? Briefly explain the direct effect (i.e., not via hormones) glucose has on the enzyme, referring to the structure of the enzyme. b. Imagine you develop a drug that targets glycogen synthase kinase as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes. You need to determine if this drug activates or inhibits glycogen synthase kinase? What effect should the drug have on the phosphorylation state and activity of glycogen synthase? Explain in detail your decision. c. Would protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) have to be active or inactive for this drug to be effective? Explain the rationale for your response; be sure to refer to the function of PP1 in your response.arrow_forward
- Give two reasons why people may not want to take supplements that contain beta-carotene or vitamin E.arrow_forwardGlucose are stored in the form of glycogen and any excess will be stored in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGS) True Falsearrow_forwardGluconeogenesis is the process for the synthesis of new glucose from the non-carbohydrate precursors. Select one: True Falsearrow_forward
- In the absence of glucose, other monosaccharides and even monomers of other macromolecules (amino acids, glycerols) can be converted to glucose to fuel cellular respiration. a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardGlucose can be made from oxaloacetate during gluconeogenesis, but if oxaloacetate concentrations are decreased,what other substance can be used to make glucose? How might this contribute to increased fat loss?arrow_forwardMatch each item in column A with the most closely related item in column B. Place letters for answers in the spaces provided.arrow_forward
