Document Summary

Two types of metabolism: anabolism the creation of large molecules from smaller ones with the use of energy (atp, catabolism the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones resulting in the release of energy (atp) Storage: the carbohydrate glucose is stored inside muscle cells and the liver cells in the form of glycogen, fats are stored as triglycerides inside fatty tissues called adipose tissue, aa because structural or function proteins inside muscle cells. Fatty acids can be converted to acetyl coa to enter the cac. In glycolysis, g6p will undergo a series of reactions that will result in the production of atp and the end product of pyruvate. The pyruvate can then undergo two possible reactions. It can enter the cac (and etc) to produce lots of atp. Atp: that depends on whether oxygen is present of not. If there is oxygen, most of the pyruvate will enter the cac.
