Metabolism terms

Question	Answer
Glycolysis pathway	Carbs to ATP oxidative pathway 1. glycolysis 2. pyuvate dehydrogenase 3. Krebs cycle 4. electron transport chain
metabolism of fat	Lipase hydrolysis of triglycerides to -free fatty acids Beta oxidation pathway - Acetyl CoA (2C) + NADH, FADH Krebs cycle Electron transport chain ATP + H2O Fatty acid = 129 ATP
Anaerobic cellular respiration	Glycolytic or lactic acid system low yield ATP 2ATP/Glucose Can only use glucose Short term only
glycogenesis	Glycogen synthesis Conversion of glucose to glycogen in muscle and liver for later use
Lipogenesis	Biosynthesis and storage of triglycerides as body fat, mainly in adipose tissue
Gluconeogenesis	synthesis of glucose from non carb sources - AAs. High protein/low carb diet. Can result in loss of muscle mass.
Glycogenolysis	The break down of glycogen to glucose by liver for release into blood stream to increase blood sugar levels in response to insulin.
Lipolysis	Metabolic pathway to convert fat into ATP.
Hormones involved in Glycogenolysis	Glucagon Adrenalin Cortisol
