Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The role of acetyl-CoA in the reactions of Ketogenesis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketogenesis is a process by which acetyl CoA is converted into
Ketone bodies are
Acetoacetate, acetone and
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl-CoA molecules which are used in the production of ketone bodies should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketogenesis is a process by which acetyl CoA is converted into ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies are metabolic products that are produced in excess during excessive breakdown of fatty acids. They are water soluble and energy yielding. In a normal man, concentration of ketone bodies in the blood is usually less than
Acetoacetate, acetone and
(c)
Interpretation:
The essential role of ketone bodies during prolonged starvation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketogenesis is a process by which acetyl CoA is converted into ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies are metabolic products that are produced in excess during excessive breakdown of fatty acids. They are water soluble and energy yielding. In a normal man, concentration of ketone bodies in the blood is usually less than
Acetoacetate, acetone and
Gluconeogenesis is the process of formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The process occurs only in liver and kidney, partially occurs in cytoplasm and in mitochondria
