Carbohydrate Metabolism

Learning Goals

1. Discuss the importance of ATP in cellular energy transfer processes.

2. Describe the three stages of catabolism of dietary proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

3. Discuss glycolysis in terms of its two major segments.

4. Looking at an equation representing any of the chemical reactions that occur in glycolysis, describe the kind of reaction that is occurring and the significance of that reaction to the pathway.

5. Describe the mechanism of regulation of the rate of glycolysis. Discuss particular examples of that regulation.

6. Discuss the practical and metabolic roles of fermentation reactions.

7. List several products of the pentose phosphate pathway that are required for biosynthesis.

8. Compare glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

9. Summarize the regulation of blood glucose levels by glycogenesis and glycogenolysis.
