unit 8 carb metabolism Flashcards
(121 cards)
exogenous sources of carbs
starch, disaccharides, monosaccharides (all further digested into monos)
endogenous source of carbs
gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
examples of monosach
glucose, fructose galactose
maltose is a
dissacharide
what organ is helpful with blood glucose
liver
gluconeogenesis def
making new glucose
glycogenolysis def
breakdown of glycogen
what are the 4 major pathways for glucose
glycogenolysis, glycogenesis, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis
what is used to make glucose
3 carbon pyruvate
acetyl coa has how many carbons
2
what are the 5 ways to cataolize glucose or glycogen
aerobic glycolysis, anaerobic glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
all digestive enzymes belong to class ()
class 3-hydrolases
what does it mean when an enzyme is classed as a hydrolase
means it need water
alpha amylase starts where in body
mouth
what is the amylase in the salivary glands
ptyalin
what is the general name for amylase
alpha amylase
where do u find alpha amylase
pancreas and salivary glands
what does alpha amylase digest
starch into glucose, maltose and isomaltose
where is disaccharides produced in the body (from digestion)
small intestine
maltase breaks down
maltose = 2 glucose
isomaltase breaks down
isomaltose = 2 glucose
lactase breaks down
lactose = glucose + galactose
sucrose breaks down
sucrose = glucose + fructose
how many steps to make glucose to pyruvate
