1. Demonstrate the energy production from glucose, fatty acid
and amino acids at the cellular level step by step in a scheme you
have created yourself. Entering, exiting, taking part etc. in all
steps. specify all components
2.Briefly describe the metabolism of glucose, fatty
acids, and amino acids during the fasted (basal) state. Be specific
by including the liver, brain, RBC, muscle adipose tissue, and
kidney?

QUESTION 5...
Both Glucose and Fatty Acids can be completely oxidized to CO2,
with the energy release used for the synthesis of ATP. In what ways
are the biochemical processes involved similar or identical, and
how do they diverge?
Which best explains why fatty acids produce more energy per
carbon than glucose?
a. Glucose must proceed through more pathways to yield ATP
b. Fatty acids are already located in the mitochondrial
matrix
c. Glucose molecules are already partially oxidized
d. All of the above
An individual has an excess of glucose and converts the
glucose into fatty acids for better storage capacity. Briefly
review the steps required. Can the opposite occur?
An individual has an excess of amino acids and converts
the amino acids into fatty acids for better storage capacity.
Briefly review the steps required. Can the opposite occur? Why or
why not?
