BIOL 242 Chapter Notes - Chapter 36: Oxidative Deamination, Acetyl-Coa, Glycolysis
Document Summary
Alternative energy sources when glucose supplies run the body uses other energy sources. 1 carbohydrates the most preferred alternative energy source disaccharides are hydrolyzed into monosaccharides which can be converted into glucose or glycolytic intermediates glycogen stored in the liver can also be converted into low a glycolytic intermediate. 2 fats stored in adipose tissues as triglycerides and can be hydrolyzed by lipases into fattyacids and glcerol which are transported to other tissues by the blood for oxidation glycerol can be converted into pgal activated. 3 proteins the least preferred alternative energy source must amino acids undergo a transamination reaction in which they lose an amino group to form a keto acid. The carbon atoms of most amino acids are converted into acetyl coa pyruvate or one of the citric acid cycle the intermediates of the intermediates allow cells to produce fatty acids glucose or energy in the form of atp.
