(a)
Interpretation:
The place where glycolysis path occurrs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis process: This process breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
This process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic
(b)
Interpretation:
The place where gluconeogenesis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Gluconeogenesis the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources runs when available glucose from the diet and stored glycogen has been used up.
(c)
Interpretation:
The place where glycogenesis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage.
Metabolism: This process refers to biochemical process that occur any living organism including humans to maintain life.
(d)
Interpretation:
The place where glycogenolysis path occurs in a liver cell has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Metabolism: This process refers to biochemical process that occur any living organism including humans to maintain life.
Glycogenolysis: The biochemical pathway for breakdown of glycogen to free glucose.

- The synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrates is called (a) glycolysis. (b) lipolysis. (c) gluconeogenesis. (d) beta-oxidation.arrow_forwardThe breakdown of glucose to pyruvate is: (a) glycolysis. (b) gluconeogenesis.(c) cellular respiration. (d) beta-oxidation.arrow_forwardName a pathway in muscles tissue that you would expect is enhanced (or upregulated) by the presence of adrenaline (aka epinephrine) in your veins (and arteries). a) glycogen breakdown b) glycolysis c) citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle d) lipid synthesis e) beta oxidationarrow_forward
- DEFINE THE FOLLOWING TERMS: a) Gluconeogenesis b) Glycolysis c) Citric Acid Cycle Please explain this in-detailed and longer, thank you.arrow_forwardWhat reaction or process in metabolism is catalyzed by each of the following enzymes: (a) pepsin; (b) succinate dehydrogenase; (c) ATP synthase?arrow_forwardName a compound that can serve as a raw material for gluconeogenesis and is from the a.) glycolytic pathway ) from the citric acid cycle c.) an amino acid. Glucose is the only carbohydrate that the brain can use for energy. Which pathway is mobilized to supply the need of the brain during starvation?: a.) glycolysis b.) gluconeogenesis or c.) glycogenesis? Explain. The end product of glycolysis, pyruvate, cannot enter as such into the citric acid cycle. Which process converts this C3 compound to a C2 compound? Of the 36 molecules of ATP produced by the complete metabolism of glucose, how many are produced directly in glycolysis alone, that is, before the common pathway? Based on the names of the enzymes participating in glycolysis, what would be the name of the enzyme catalyzing the activation of glycerol?arrow_forward
- The pathway that converts glucose to acetyl-CoA is often referred to as an “aerobic oxidation pathway.” (a) Is molecular boxygen involved in any of the steps of glycolysis? (b) Thinking back to Chapter 20, where does molecular oxygen enter the picture?arrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step A) requires the input of energy from ATP. B) requires the input of energy from NADH. C) releases energy which is captured in the form of ATP. D) releases energy which is captured in the form of NADH.arrow_forwardGlycogen is the major animal storage polysaccharide, and is a polymer of glucose. a) List ALL the biochemical steps involved in storing GLUCOSE as glycogen b) Give NAME/S of the ENZYMES involved in EACH listed step c) What PULLS the reaction forward? d) Give the NAME of the tissue where these steps occur. (HINT: remember glycogen is branched chain).arrow_forward
- 1. A person ate 200 g of carbohydrates and then did not eat anything for a day. What process of carbon metabolism was stimulated in the liver 14 hours after the last meal? For answer: a) write a diagram of the process that speeds up in the liver after 14 hours after cating; b) indicate the regulatory reactions and their enzymcs; c) describe the mechanism of signal transduction by a hormone that regulates this metabolic pathway.arrow_forwarda) Explain in your own words, under what conditions pyruvate is converted into lactic acid (2pt). b) Does lactic acid fermentation occur in all cells of the body? (0.5pt). c) Explain in your own words your answer to part (b) (1pt) Answers must be in full sentences, include correct grammar and spelling, and contain biological correct information (0.5pt).arrow_forwardIn the Cori cycle, the lactate product of glycolysis in muscle is transformedback into glucose by the liver. (a) List the enzymes involved in the lactate → glucose pathway. (b) What is the net gain/loss of ATP for one round of the Cori cycle (glucose → lactate → glucose)?arrow_forward
