Document Summary
Chapter 9: energy metabolism: macronutrient that is especially easy for the body to store as fat when excess kcals are consumes: Lipids are easy to store as fat (lipid = fat: this amazing organ can manufacture nonessential amino acids, convert fructose to glucose, and build fatty acids from excess glucose: Also the primary gluconeogenic organ: when glycogen has been washed-out in the body, this metabolic pathway uses amino acids to synthesize glucose: Gluconeogenesis: when nutrients from a meal are no longer available, the body draws on the stored forms of these two macronutrients to provide energy: Carbohydrates, lipids: the metabolic pathway that produces the most atp: Electron transport chain: metabolic compound that enters the citric acid cycle during the aerobic metabolism of glucose: Acetyl - coa: the metabolic pathway responsible for the formation of pyruvate from glucose: Ketone bodies then are converted back into acetyl coa. Return to the citric acid cycle to be used for fuel.
