Glucose homeostasis The fed state Presentation copyright © 2007 David A Bender The central nervous system is very largely reliant on glucose as its metabolic fuel; it cannot oxidise fatty acids (but can metabolise ketone bodies in prolonged starvation) glycogen Red blood cells are absolutely reliant on glucose; they have no mitochondria and form ATP only by anaerobic glycolysis triacyglycerol protein glucose triacylglycerol in VLDL triacylglycerol in chylomicrons amino

Of the other tubes that contained sucrose; tube 6‚ which included NaF and was also kept at 37oC‚ evolved only 1.25 mL CO2 and tube 7‚ which was kept at room temperature‚ evolved 1.50 mL CO2. Tube 3‚ which contained fructose‚ also evolved as much CO2 as tube 6‚ but at a different rate. Finally‚ tube 5‚ which contained arabinose‚ evolved no CO2 at

sugar is consumed eating by processed foods such as white bread‚ pasta‚ soft drinks.etc. Sucrose provides our bodies with energy. After this substance is consumed‚ it decomposes into its two fundamental monosaccharides (glucose‚ and fructose). Next‚ the glucose and fructose molecules are quickly absorbed into our bloodstream and energy is obtained. Even though sucrose is used as a source of energy in our bodies‚ too much of it can be harmful. When sucrose is consumed daily in large amounts‚ it causes

Comment on the statement below: ‘Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis are reciprocally regulated’ Reciprocally regulated means when one process takes place in a cell‚ the other process will essentially inactivated. This regulation ensures that either glycolysis or gluconeogenesis predominate as to prevent concurrent activity in two closely parallel pathways‚ where if both Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis

It is found as a major component of other carbohydrates. For example‚ maltose is a carbohydrate composed of two glucose units. Lactose (milk sugar) contains one glucose unit and one galactose unit‚ sucrose (table sugar) contains one glucose unit and one fructose unit‚ and maltose (malt sugar) contains two glucose units. Each of these disaccharides is composed of two monosaccharides connected to each other with a glycosidic (ether) bond.

A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen‚ usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words‚ with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars.

Starch hydrolysis and fructose production The use of starch degrading enzymes was the first large scale application of microbial enzymes in food industry. Mainly two enzymes carry out conversion of starch to glucose: alpha-amylase and fungal enzymes. Fructose produced from sucrose as a starting material. Sucrose is split by invertase into glucose and fructose‚ fructose separated and crystallized. 3. Drinks Enzymes have many applications
