What is metabolism?
CHO metabolism
PRO metabolism
FAT metabolism
ETOH metabolism
100
The process of converting food to a form of energy the body can use

Metabolism

100
The 2 molecules formed as a result of glycolysis

Pyruvate

(Also generates a net 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 H+ ions & other building blocks to be used later)

100

T/F: the pathway used to metabolize PRO requires glucose

True

(glucose also required for FAT metabolism)

100

T/F: the source of fat required for FAT metabolism is dietary

False

100

The site(s) where ETOH metabolism occurs is

Stomach & liver cells

200

The end product of metabolism

ATP

200
The purpose of NAD and FAD is

to act as carriers that pick up H+ ions & electrons 

200

The sources of AAs that lead to PRO metabolism

Liver and muscle stores

200

The process by which glycerol is broken off and 3 fatty acids are left to their own devices 

Lipolysis 

(breakdown of triglycerides)

200

The toxin in alcohol

Acetaldehyde

300

The types of reactions involved in metabolism

Anabolic and catabolic reactions
300

The 2 enzymes required for all reactions

Niacin and Riboflavin

(both are B-vits - why is this significant?)

300

The part of an AA that can undergo further reactions

Carbon skeleton

300

The molecule that is required for Acetyl-CoA produced from beta-oxidation to enter the TCA cycle & other pathways

Oxygen

300

The compound that acetaldehyde is converted into that can lead to an accumulation of ketones 

Acetyl-CoA

400

The way we get energy from ATP

breaking off a phosphate group

400

The process by which lactate is converted back into pyruvate to be made into glucose, allowing glycolysis to begin again when more O2 is present

Cori Cycle

400

The result of an overconsumption of PRO is an increase in what compound

Acetyl-CoA

(this is then converted into what?)

400

The reason why glucose is necessary for FA oxidation 

The accumulation of Acetyl-CoA

400

T/F: Alcohol can be metabolized just like fatty acids are metabolized

True

500

The type of metabolism that occurs in the cytoplasm when O2 is limited or when certain cells (RBCs) require it

Anaerobic metabolism

500

Symptoms of fatigue and lethargy are indicative of a deficiency of what micronutrient? (has to do with ETC)

Iron 
500

The compound that is toxic to cells and must be removed from the body during PRO metabolism 

Ammonia 


(why is it NOT urea?)

500

Type 1 Diabetes are susceptible to this condition when they go a long time without insulin

Diabetic ketoacidosis

500

The only time acetaldehyde can be converted into a small amount of acetyl-CoA that enters the TCA cycle is when an individual _____

drinks in moderation
