Answer 1

Answer 1- ATP

ATP is considered as main source of energy. ATP (Adenosine--P--P--P) contain unstable, high-energy bonds which readily hydrolyzed in biological reactions to release a large amount of energy.

Answer 2- coenzyme A

Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in lipid metabolism. Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group (2-carbon units) to the Krebs cycle to be oxidized for energy production.

Answer 3 - Chylomicrons    

Chylomicrons are lipoproteins particles that consists of triacylglycerols,proteins, phospholipids and cholesterol. The main function of chylomicron is to transport dietary lipids from the intestines to other locations in the body.

Answer 4.-  FAD

Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is an electron carrier used by a cell during cellular respiration. In it fully oxidized form, it accepts two electrons and two protons to become FADH2. FAD donate electrons to oxidative phosphorylation, where the electrons from the reduced form of FAD are transferred to form ATP.

Answer 5- acidosis

Acidosis is caused by an overproduction of acid in the blood or due to excessive loss of bicarbonate from the blood or by increment of carbon dioxide in the blood.

Answer 6- ketone bodies

Ketones bodies are produced when glucose is in short supply. They are synthesized due to fat metabolism. They act as alternative fuels for the body during starvation.
