Question
TRUE or FALSE
- Triacylglycerols and triglycerides are two names for the same type of compounds. ____
- Complete oxidation of glucose yields more energy than complete oxidation of an equal mass of fatty acids. ____
- One of insulin's effects is to inhibit biosynthesis of lipids. ____
- The liver is the most important site for the biosynthesis of fatty acids and triglycerides. ____
- If there is an excessive intake of fatty acids and/or carbohydrates, the energy is stored as triglycerides for later use.
Explanation / Answer
1) It is TRUE that Triacylglycerols and triglycerides are two names for the same type of compounds
2) it is FALSE because In humans, the oxidation of fats is quantitatively more important than the oxidation of glucose as a source of ATP. In part, this is because the oxidation of 1 g of triacylglycerol to CO2 generates about six times as much ATP as does the oxidation of 1 g of hydrated glycogen, the polymeric storage form of glucose in animals.
3) TRUE because Insulin has important effects on themetabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose fromthe blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cell.
4) TRUE because The liver is the most important site for the biosynthesis of fatty acids and triglycerides.
5) TRUE
