WHAT IS IT FOR?

Question 1

Converts glucose into 3 carbon compounds to provide energy

Answer 1

Glycolysis

Question 2

Synthesizing glucose from non-carb sources to prevent hypoglycemia during fasting

Answer 2

Gluconeogenesis

Question 3

Synthesis of glycogen

Answer 3

Glycogenesis

Question 4

Mobilizing stored glycogen

Answer 4

Glycogenolysis

Question 5

Major pathway formation of ATP

Answer 5

Citric acid cycle

Question 6

• Produces NADPH
• Produces ribose 5-phosphate required for biosynthesis of nucleotides
• Provides a mechanism for the metabolic use of 5-carbon sugars
• Take note: Neither produces nor consumes ATP

Answer 6

PPP/HMP shunt

Question 7

Synthesis of fatty acids, specifically, palmitate

Answer 7

Lipogenesis/Fatty acid synthesis

Question 8

• Removal of aceyl CoA fragments from the ends of fatty acids
• Also yielding NADH and FADH2 in the process
• Acetyl CoA can enter the citric acid cycle
• NADH and FADH2 can enter the ETC

Answer 8

Lipolysis/Beta-oxidation

Question 9

Synthesis of ketone bodies, alternative fuel for peripheral tissues

Answer 9

Ketogenesis

Question 10

Conversion of nitrogenous waste to urea

Answer 10

Urea cycle
