27
Medically important carbohydrate as the entire function of the brain is glucose dependent
Glucose
28
How many glucose is utilized by the brain during resting/ sleeping period?
1/2 to 2/3
29
Primary energy source of human
Glucose
30
T/F: Glucose is the only carbohydrate DIRECTLY used as energy
TRUE
31
Glucose is stored as glycogen in
Liver and Muscles
32
By the help of __, glucose can enter the cell
Insulin
33
Metabolism of glucose to form energy
Glycolysis
34
Effects on glucose level: Glycolysis
Decreased BG
35
Formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate source (protein, amino acids/ lipids)
Gluconeogenesis
36
Effects on glucose level: Gluconeogenesis
Increased BG
37
Breakdown of glycogen (forming more glucose)
Glycogenolysis
38
Effects on glucose level: Glycogenolysis
Increased BG
39
Formation of glycogen (to store excess glucose by converting multiple glucose to glycogen)
Glycogenesis
40
Effects on glucose level: Glycogenesis
Decreased BG
41
Conversion of carbohydrate to fatty acids
Lipogenesis
42
Effects on glucose level: Lipogenesis
Decreased BG
43
Decomposition or breakdown of fats (occurs if glucose is insufficient/ absent)
Lipolysis
44
Effects on glucose level: Lipolysis
Increased BG
45
(occurs if glucose is insufficient/ absent) Fats will be utilized instead of glucose to form energy forming __ as a byproduct
Ketones
46
Increase ketones = Ketosis will lead to
coma
