question number 12

What are the function of fat within the body? Can fat be used as an energy source? What is the function of protein within the body? Define the following terms: ATP (what is it and what is it\'s purpose?): Gluconeogenesis: Glycogenesis: Glycogenolysis: Lipolysis: Lipogenesis Metabolism

Solution

1. Primary function of carbohydrate is to provide enrgy, store energy and help in macromolecule synthesis

2.Most of the carbohydrate are stored in the body as gycogen in muscle and in liver

3.Fat is the source of energy when carbohydrate is not available, It maintains temperature in the body and protect vital organ

4.Fat act as areserve source of energy utilised when carbohydrate is not available

5.Protein is the building block of the cell and help in tissue repair

6.Protein used as source of energy in starvation when other source of energy is get depleted.

7 .Carbohydrate is used as source of energy

8.Normal blood glucose level is 100mg/dl while 70-99 mg /dl in fasting state

9. ATP : Adenosine triphosphate is the source of energy in metabolic function ,act as a coenzyme

10.Glucose is the source of energy derived from non carbohydrate source such as lactate.

11.Glycolysis: Breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.

12. Glycogenesis: formation glycogen from glucose

13. Glycogenolysis:Breakdown of glycogen to glucose

14,Lipolysis: Breakdown of fat into triglycerol and fatty acid

15.Lipogenesis :In this acetyl Co enzyme is converted to fat

16. Metabolism:All chemical reaction involved in maintaining living state of cell.
