Q

The principal pathway of glucose oxidation

A

Embden meyerhof pathway

24
Q

The site for embden meyerhof pathway

25
In the embden meyerhof pathway, glucose is broken down into ___
two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid
26
After the embden meyerhof pathway, the pyruvic acid will then by used by which biochemical pathway?
tricarbocylic acid cycle
27
Other substrates that may be used to synthesize energy
Glycerol Fatty acids Ketones
28
This is a detour of glucose-6-phosphate from the glycolytic pathway to become 6-phosphogluconic acid
hexose monophosphate shunt
29
T/F: the hexose monophosphate shunt produces ATP and biosynthetic products
F (this does not produce ATP)
30
The hexose monophosphate shunt is also called the ___
Pentose phosphate pathway
31
This pathway only occurs when the body's energy requirements are being met
Glycogenesis pathway
32
The utilization of stored glucose from glycogen
Glycogenolysis
33
The processes being done by the body when the glucose is low
Glycogenolysis Gluconeogenesis
34
The process that causes the production of ketone bodies
Gluconeogenesis
35
The process happening when one is fasting for less than 1 day
Glycogenolysis
36
The process happening when one is fasting for >1 day
Gluconeogenesis
37
Examples of ketone bodies
Acetone Acetoacetate B-hydroxybutyric acid
38
Metabolism of glucose molecule to pyruvate or lactate for production of energy
Glycolysis
39
Formation of glucose-6-phosphate from noncarbohydrate sources
Gluconeogenesis
40
Breakdown of glycogen to glucose for use as energy
Glygenolysis
41
Conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage
Glycogenesis
42
Conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids
Lipogenesis
43
Decomposition of fat
Lipolysis
44
Insulin and glucagon are produced by which organ?
Pancreas
45
Cells that synthesize insulin
B-cells
46
Cells that synthesize glucagon
a-cells
47
T/F: insulin is the only hormone in the human body that lowers blood sugar
T
48
This is released during stress and fasting states
Glucagon
49
This hormone is synthesized in the pancreas and hypothalamus that increases plasma glucose
Somatostatin
50
Somatostatin is from the __ cells of the islets of Langerhans
delta
51
Epinephrine is a hormone synthesized by the ___ which increases blood glucose
Adrenal medulla
52
Cortisol is synthesized by the adrenal cortex, specifically in the zona ___
fasciculata
53
Aldosterone is synthesized by the adrenal cortex, specifically in the zona ___
glomerulosa
54
Growth hormone is synthesized in the ___ and is inhibited by somatostatin
anterior pituitary gland
55
Location: Cushing disease
anterior pituitary gland
56
Location: Cushing syndrome
adrenal cortex
