Document Summary
Metabolism: transformations and interactions: site of metabolic reactions. Makes glucose from some amino acids and glycerol when needed. Builds and breaks down triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol as needed. Breaks down fatty acids for energy when needed. Packages extra lipids in lipoproteins for transport to other body organs. Manufactures bile to send to the gallbladder for use in fat digestion. Manufactures nonessential amino acid that are in short supply. Removes from circulation amino acids that are present in excess of need and converts them to other amino acids or deaminated them and converts them to glucose or fatty acids. Removes ammonia from the blood and converse it to urea to be sent to the kidneys for excretion. Makes other nitrogen-containing compounds the body needs (ie. bases used in. Makes many transport and blood proteins: anabolism and catabolism, anabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions include the making of glycogen, triglycerides, and protein: catabolic reactions.
