Carbohydrate Metabolism — Flashcards

Pyruvate may be converted to _____ via the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase

The branched glycogen molecule (pre-debranching enzyme) is cleaved by the enzyme _____ in the lysosomes, only

When _____ glucose unit remains on a branch of glycogen, debranching enzyme (-1,6-glucosidase) cleaves off the last residue, liberating glucose

Glucose is converted to _____ by the enzyme hexokinase in most tissues

Pyruvate carboxylase requires _____, biotin, and CO2

Pyruvate is converted to _____ via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (Cori cycle)

_____ is converted to UDP-glucose via the enzyme UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (glycogen synthesis)

_____ disease is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase

Glycogen synthase is regulated via positive feedback by _____, cortisol, and glucose-6-phosphate

The byproducts of _____ fermentation are gases (CO2, H2) and short chain fatty acids (ie: lactic acid)

Hint: aerobic or anaerobic
