Study Notes
Lipogenesis
- The primary product of lipogenesis is triglycerides.
Electron Transport Chain
- The Electron Transport Chain occurs in the mitochondrial inner membrane.
Gluconeogenesis
- The purpose of gluconeogenesis is to generate glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and lactate, to maintain blood sugar levels during fasting or starvation.
Glycogenolysis
- The main function of glycogenolysis is to break down glycogen into glucose in response to hormonal signals, such as glucagon and epinephrine, to increase blood sugar levels.
Glycogenesis
- Leftover glucose in glycogenesis is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use.
Test your knowledge of energy metabolism with this quiz covering TCA cycle, glycolysis, and lipogenesis. Challenge yourself with questions about the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, the role of acetyl Co-A in fatty acid synthesis, and the importance of the electron transport chain in aerobic conditions.
