Match the following organs with their characteristic function in glucose metabolism:

Liver = Can synthesize glucose by gluconeogenesis Kidney = Can store glycogen but cannot release glucose Muscle = Can convert fatty acids to ketones Renal cortex = Can convert G6P to glucose

Match the following compounds with their source:

Glycogen = Excess glucose stored in liver cells Fatty acids = Breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue Ketones = Conversion of fatty acids and amino acids in liver G6P = Glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis in liver

Match the following processes with their location:

Ketogenesis = Liver Gluconeogenesis = Muscle Glycogenolysis = Muscle and liver

Match the following with their role in glucose metabolism:

Glucose-6-phosphatase = Releases glucose in liver Alanine = Amino acid converted to ketones Glycerol = Metabolic product used in gluconeogenesis Lactate = Not involved in glucose metabolism Signup and view all the answers

Match the following with their role in energy production:

Ketones = Energy source for brain during fasting Glycogen = Energy storage in muscles Fatty acids = Energy source for liver Triglycerides = Energy storage in adipose tissue Signup and view all the answers
