Biochemical process by which food molecules are broken down into simpler chemical units that can be used by cells for their metabolic needs

due to occlusion of blood vessels by the muscular contraction that decreases oxygen

8. Reversal of _____ is ________, an important source of glucose

7. It is the major source of ______ that is gluconeogenic.

Main pathway of metabolism of ____ from the diet.

___ SALIVA PER DAY

CARBOHYDRATE DIGESTION IN _____ Salivary amylase continues to act on starch, glycogen or dextrins for 2-3 minutes only in the stomach

starch, glycogen, maltose, sucrose, and lactose (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides).

which have a limited blood supply and lack mitochondria which if present would absorb and scatter light interfering with transparency.

SALIVA IS ___% WATER

- Metabolic pathway by which G6P is used to produced NADPH and other sugar phosphates - Significant in cells that produce lipids • Fatty tissues • Liver • Mammary glands • Adrenal cortex

• salivary amylase (PTYALIN) is produced by the salivary glands. • Its optimum pH is 6.7 - 6.8 and is activated by chloride ions • specific for hydrolysis of -1,4 glucosidic linkage present in cooked starch and glycogen from meat to produce smaller disaccharides and maltose • Salivary amylase cannot digest -1,4 glucosidic linkage in cellulose.

• Transforming small molecules into big molecules constituting the body structures and machinery. • It is energy requiring, e.g., glycogenesis and lactose synthesis

CARBOHYDRATE DIGESTION IN _____ • In the _____, there are two juices that digest carbohydrates: • The pancreatic juice: • pancreatic amylase • an -glycosidase • has an optimum pH 7.1 • also activated by chloride ion • It acts exactly as salivary amylase • digesting cooked and uncooked starch • glycogen and starch dextrins which escaped digestion by salivary amylase in the mouth

Muscle and brain cells lacks ____

Central focus of carbohydrates metabolism is a pathway called as

3 major breakdown products

where there are relatively few mitochondria.

• Glucose oxidation producing ATP. • It is the major source of energy in certain tissues e.g.,RBCsandskeletalmuscles. • It provides pyruvic acid needed for Krebs' cycle. • It is a link with fat metabolism, e.g., dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glycerol 3- phosphate in adipose tissue. • It a link with amino acid metabolism, e.g., 3- phopshoglycerate into serine and pyruvate into alanine and vice versa. • Production of 2,3-DPG that is important in tissue oxygenation.

are those enzymes that catalyze the irreversible steps of glycolysis

The metabolic pathway by which glycogen is synthesized from glucose 6-phosphate

• are devoid of mitochondria and depend on glycolysis as the main source of energy. • Mammalian erythrocyte is unique in that about 90% of its total energy requirement is provided by glycolysis.

• Which are called dietary fibers. • These include cellulose, gums and pectins. • They are very important for stools excretion and are anticancer and intestinal bacteria feed on it to release certain vitamins.

• Pyruvate • Produced from glucose via glycolysis • End product of glycolysis

two juices that digest carbohydrates

due to dissociation of the high rate of glycolysis from Krebs', i.e., aerobic production of lactate.

________ occurs during replenishing depleted liver, converting lactase back to glucose, maintain blood glucose levek when glucogen stores has beed depleted

_____ hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose.

A small number of genetic diseases occur due to deficiency in activity of enzymes of glycolysis, are manifested mainly as ______

_____ and ______ rapidly converted to compounds that are metabolized by the same pathway as glucose

LACTATE formed from glucose under anaerobic conditions in muscle cells is transferred to the liver, where it is reconverted to glucose which is then transferred back to the muscle cells

• Stimulates synthesis of glucokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, so it stimulates glycolysis. • It also induces glucose transporters to provide cells with glucose for glycolysis

In the bloodstream, they are transported to the _____

• Breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules to produce energy or smaller molecules or reducing equivalents

GLUCOSE, FRUCTOSE, GALACTOSE These monosaccharides are absorbed through the ______

The final digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the small intestine by the action of the following disaccharidases: ______, ______, _____ .

Glucose is converted into ______________

CARBOHYDRATE DIGESTION IN _____ • Saliva is 99% water and small amounts of inorganic and organic molecules • Triggered by taste, smell, sight and thought of food • 1.5L saliva/day

______ and ______ are inhibitory by inhibiting pyruvate kinase

_______ are glycolytic producing large amount of lactate, favoring a relatively acidic local pH in the tumor, a situation that was utilized to develop therapy for cancer that could be locally activated by this acidic pH.

• Metabolic pathway by which glucose 6- phosphate is produced from glycogen • In muscles and brain cells,an immediate need for energy is the stimulus that initiates ______ • Needs the enzyme glucose 6-phosphatase to convert G6P to glucose before it can enter the bloodstream

Intracellular site and tissue distribution: • It occurs in the _____ of all tissues in the body

also normally derive most of their energy from glycolysis

• They are utilized for both anabolic and catabolic purposes • e.g., glycolysis and Krebs' cycle.

• Which do not need digestion and are absorbed • e.g., monosaccharides: glucose, mannose, galactose, fructose and pentoses.

- Synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate materials • Pyruvate • Lactate (muscles and RBC) • Glycerol (triacylglycerol hydrolysis) • Amino acids ( muscle protein during starvation) - 90% in the liver - Helps maintain blood sugar level in times of inadequate dietary CHO intake
