Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantage that the integration of protein, carbohydrate, and fat
Introduction: During consumption of food, an intake of glucose occurs along with many other components, including fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and others. For the breakdown of these, an integration of different metabolic pathways, for instance, fat metabolic pathway, protein metabolic pathway and glucose metabolic pathway is required.

Where do most of the metabolic processes occur?
Liver (cells)
Small Intestine (cells)
Adipose Tissue (cells)
Pancreas (cells)
What roles do the first and last steps of glycolysis play in control of carbohydrate metabolism?
Which of the following processes would happen on a large scale during starvation (and not in a person who eats regularly)?
Chylomicrons deliver lipids to adipose (fat) cells
Gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney; glucose is secreted into blood
Protein catabolism in muscle cells; liberated amino acids are funneled into the Krebs cycle
Triglycerides previously stored in adipose tissue undergo lipolysis; glycerol is used by the liver for gluconeogenesis

Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step A) requires the input of energy from ATP. B) requires the input of energy from NADH. C) releases energy which is captured in the form of ATP.
