- What is the reason that amino acid degradation spikes approximately 24 hours after starting a fast? (A) The brain adapts to using ketone bodies, and amino acids serve as the primary precursors for ketone bodies.(B) Red blood cells begin using amino acids to drive their citric acid cycle.(C) Amino acids are broken down and used to replenish glycogen. (D) The liver needs to make glucose for brain and RBCs, and amino acids provide the carbon skeleton for gluconeogenesis.(E) The ammonia released from amino acid breakdown is a substrate for b-oxidation, which increases during prolonged fasting.arrow_forwardIn gluconeogenesis, what are the precursors of glucose?

Glycerolarrow_forwardHelp filling in the blanks: Folic acid is a [1/2/3] carbon carrier that can carry the carbon(s) in multiple oxidation states. S-adenosyl methionine is exclusively a [carboxyl/methyl/formyl] carrier. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] is a cofactor used to decarboxylate a-keto acids. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] activates acyl groups for transfer to other organic molecules. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] is capable of forming double bonds between carbons or disulfide bridges because it can carry electrons singly. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] on the other hand is better at oxidizing alcohols to ketones because it takes a hydride ion from a donor molecule.arrow_forward
