Define co-enzymes and outline the role they play in energy metabolism. Outline the major roles of the liver in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Outline the conversion of glucose to pyruvate via glycolysis and the reversible, and anaerobic nature of this process. Outline the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa. Describe the location and function of the tca cycle. Outline the role of the electron transport chain and its connection with the tca cycle. Describe the metabolism of triglycerides to glycerol and fatty acids and their entry into the energy metabolism pathway.
