Lipids are converted into glycogen molecules
The intermediate between fats, carbs, and proteins is:
Acetyl CoA
Lipogenesis generally begins with
Acetyl-CoA
How many new ATP molecules are produced by the complete metabolisms (all pathways-slow and fast) of one glucose molecule?
30-32 ATP
Most of the ATP from metabolism is produced in the
Electron Transport System
Lipids
Provide energy for cells with modest energy demands
What is the end product of slow (aerobic) glycolysis
Pyruvate
The function of the citric acid cycle is to
Remove hydrogen atoms from organic molecules and transfer them to coenzymes
What is the role NADH in metabolism
Transport hydrogen atoms to coenzymes
During Lipolysis
Triglycerides are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids
