1 of 16
Which pathway synthesises glycogen?
Glycogenesis
2 of 16
What are the pathways of lipid metabolism?
Malonyl pathway, TCA cycle, Beta-oxidation
3 of 16
Which tissues does gluconeogenesis take place?
Liver and kidney
4 of 16
Which tissues take place in the adipose tissue shortly after eating?
Pentose pathway, malonyl pathway, lipogenesis
5 of 16
Which pathway contains the enzyme acetyl CoA carboxylase?
Malonyl pathway
6 of 16
Which pathway contains the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase?
Gluconeogenesis
7 of 16
Which 2 types of metabolism occurs in the adipose tissue?
Carbohydrate and lipid
8 of 16
What happens when there is elevated levels of glucose in the plasma?
Glucose take up into adipose tissue via the Glut4 transporter, converted into glucose-6-phosphate, G6P is broken down into triode sugars and can go via a series of pathways
9 of 16
Metabolism in the muscle tissue:
Carbohydrate, lipid and protein
10 of 16
What happens to the amino acids in the plasma?
They could either be converted into toehr AA's or removal of amine group to create alanine, keto acid formed and can be converted into acetyl CoA
11 of 16
What metabolism occurs in the liver?
Carbohydrate, protein and lipid
12 of 16
What happens to amino acids in liver?
AA's coming in can be deaminated, can produce acetyl CoA
13 of 16
What happens to glycerol in Liver?
Comes in from blood to make triglycerides

Give some reasons as to why cell processes need to be controlled
Each cell can carry out a number of reactions so it is important for them to be controlled and regulated so all the reactions are coordinated to meet the current needs of the organism
15 of 16
How are metabolic activities controlled?
Hormonal control, substrate supply, allosteric enzymes, nervous control
