Document Summary

Storage: the carbohydrate glucose is stored inside muscle cells and the liver cells in the form of glycogen, fats are stored as triglycerides inside fatty tissues called adipose tissue, aa because structural or function proteins inside muscle cells. Describe the three chemical reactions/metabolic pathways in the body that produce atp. Describe where each fuel source enters the metabolic pathways: glucose, beginning of glycolysis as glucose, aa, broken down into pyruvate to enter glycolysis, broken down into acetyl coa to enter the cac. Triglycerides: broken down into glycerol to enter glycolysis, broken down into free fatty acids to be converted to or acetyl coa to enter the cac. Describe in detail the full metabolism of glucose by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (in the presence of oxygen and without oxygen). In glycolysis, g6p will undergo a series of reactions that will result in the production of atp and the end product of pyruvate.
