Study Set Content:
are those that require energy to synthesize larger molecules.
Anabolic pathways
are those that generate energy by breaking down larger molecules.
Catabolic pathways
Small molecules are assembled into large ones.
Anabolic
Large molecules are broken down into small ones.
Catabolic
Energy is released
Catabolic
Energy is required
Anabolic
is the metabolic process by which glucose is formed from noncarbohydrate sources, such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol.
Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis (literally,
formation of new sugar”
provides glucose when dietary intake is insufficient to supply the requirements of the brain and nervous system, erythrocytes, renal medulla, testes, and embryonic tissues, all of which use glucose as a major source of fue
Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis is what kind of process
anabolic
is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1- phosphate and glucose.
Glycogenolysis
The reaction takes place in the
hepatocytes and myocytes
liver cells
hepatocytes
muscle cells
myocytes
is a source of energy for the entire human body.
Blood glucose
During the fasting state, to maintain normal blood glucose levels, the liver plays a central role in producing glucose via
glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
is a branched polysaccharide consisting of glucose units.
Glycogen
In humans, it is the principal storage form of glucose.
Glycogen
During times of need, the body breaks down glycogen to produce
glucose
The liver breaks down glycogen to maintain adequate blood glucose levels, whereas, muscles break down glycogen to maintain
energy for contraction
