Interpretation:
Consuming too many carbohydrates causes deposition of fats in adipose tissue the process how does this happen should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-
Lipogenesis is the metabolic pathway by which fatty acids are synthesized from acetyl-CoA.
Adipose tissue protects, insulates and stores fat in droplets inside the cells.
It consists of cells (adipocytes) in a fluid-gel matrix.
It is found beneath the skin, around the kidneys, behind the eyes and on the heart.
Carbohydrate
Glycolysis is a sequence of ten enzyme- catalyzed reactions by which glucose is converted into pyruvate.

- Does a carbohydrate rich meal promotes glycogenesis?arrow_forwardHow does a ketogenic diet decrease the level of urea in obese patients and increase the level of creatine in obese patients? (explain on a molecular level)arrow_forwardHow would a diet deficient in vitamin B6 affect protein metabolism?arrow_forward
- The body doesn’t have a reserve of proteins or amino acids for energy production. Which class of protein may be used initially during fasting to maintain glucose and energy levels? What is the difference between a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid and why are both important during fasting?arrow_forwardDuring a high carbohydrate meal, what happens first to the excess glucose in the blood?arrow_forwardFatty acids are stored in adipose tissue, as triacylglycerol (TAG) forms. TAGs are degraded as glycerol and fatty acids where energy is required. Based on that knowledge explain: a) How these products are used in the adipose, liver, and other tissue? b)Why glycerol can not be metabolized in adipose tissue?arrow_forward
- The most common form of malnutrition in children in the world, kwashiorkor, is caused by a diet having ample calories but little protein. The high levels of carbohydrate result in high levels of insulin. What is the effect of high levels of insulin on (a) lipid utilization? (b) protein metabolism? (c) Children suffering from kwashiorkor often have large distended bellies caused by water from the blood leaking into extracellular spaces. Suggest a biochemical basis for this condition.arrow_forwardCan fat be digested and absorbed in the absence of bile salts? Explain.aarrow_forwardHow does ketogenic diet affect the human physiological processes, particularly in the regulation of lipids?arrow_forward
- What is the consequence of ingesting large quantities of watersoluble vitamins? Fat-soluble vitamins?arrow_forwardGlucose can be made from oxaloacetate during gluconeogenesis, but if oxaloacetate concentrations are decreased,what other substance can be used to make glucose? How might this contribute to increased fat loss?arrow_forwardDuring fasting or starvation, the body converts to the production of ketone bodies. Diagram pathways utilized to produce ketone bodies and where they are used to create energy. Be sure to include which pathways are on and where. (20pts) Explain the role ketone bodies play in the liver, muscles, and the brain. Be sure to include the relationship of ketone bodies to carbohydrate metabolism. (20pts)arrow_forward
