Figure 6.21.Distribution of glucose after a meal between storage of glucose as glycogen or metabolism of glucose to CO2and production of ATP. An average meal contains ~90g of glucose. In this example, muscle ta
Which is the smallest molecule? a. cellulose b. glucose c. glycogen d. starch e. polysaccharide What molecule is common in the catabolism of fat and glucose? What enzyme breaks down starch into sugar? What class of macromolecule does starch belong to?
The simple sugar glucose is an example of a: A. Polysaccharide B. Glycogen C. Monosaccharide D. Fatty acid E. Lipid Polymer of Simple Sugars: The polymerization of simple sugar takes place inside the system which helps in the storage of foo...
In the absence of diabetes, very low levels of kidney glycogen have been reported. However, in individuals with diabetes, there is significant renal glycogen accumulation [[13], [14], [15]]. This glycogen has been described to occur as part of Armanni-Ebstein lesions, which derive from swol...
One hallmark of cancer is the upregulation and dependency on glucose metabolism to fuel macromolecule biosynthesis and rapid proliferation. Despite significant pre-clinical effort to exploit this pathway, additional mechanistic insights are necessary to
of glucose did not influence the secretion of redox enzymes or proteases, which shows the specificity of glucose on the secretion of cellulolytic enzymes. The comparison of the secretomes of monokaryons and dikaryons reveals that secretome complexity is unrelated to the nuclear composition of the ...
simultaneous activation of both pathways may result in a ‘futile’ cycling of glucose, which is detrimental to cell survival44. To avoid such futility, activation of either pathway should be exclusive to the other. For example, activation of FBP1, another gluconeogenic enzyme, will inevitably ant...
Reprogramming of cancer metabolism is a newly recognized hallmark of malignancy. The aberrant glucose metabolism is associated with dramatically increased bioenergetics, biosynthetic, and redox demands, which is vital to maintain rapid cell proliferation, tumor progression, and resistance to chemotherapy and...
While substantial attention has focused on the regulatory roles of glycolysis in cancer cells, the role of gluconeogenesis, an inverse metabolic pathway to glycolysis, in cancer has also drawn attention. Because gluconeogenesis is a fundamental process in hepatocytes, it is important to understand ...
Does the heart run off of fat or glucose? How is glucose deemed soluble? What is the storage form of glucose? What glucose polymer cannot be digested by humans? What type of biological macromolecule is glucose? What are sugars in biochemistry?
