Question

Question 1 (fat) People who are concerned about their weight must pay attention not only to triacylglyceride intake but also to the consumption of starch, glucose and other carbohydrates. While these are converted to g ycogen in he liver, muscle and other tissues, only 5% of the stored energy is present as glycogen. What happens to most of the carbohydrate consumed in excess of caloric need? lona tem slcels kedleial muscle Question2 Explain the biochemical roles of carnitine in the oxidation of fatty acids. [61 Question 3 Ty wwsencoo) Describe the chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis. T81

Explanation / Answer

ans 1....excess of carbohydrates consumed are first digested in the stomach and converted into glucise and then absorbed just like all of the carbohydrates.the excess carbohydrates whivh is left after dulfilling body demands and glycogen stores is then converted into triglycerides or fats which is then stored in the adipose tissue and result in weight gain.

ans 2..cartinine is mainly involved in beta oxidation of fatty acids it transfer the long chain fatty acid to mitochondria for its beta oxidation.it has an obligate role in the mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids through the action of specialized acyltransferases. Other roles for carnitine include buffering of the acyl coenzyme A (CoA)-CoA ratio, branched-chain amino acid metabolism, removal of excess acyl groups, and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation

ans 3..it is the mechanism that couples the energy of electron ttansport to the phosphorylation of ADP.as the electron pass theough the electron transport chain,energy is released which is used to establish a proton gradient across a selectively permeable membrane.this hypothesis states that the action of ATP synthase is coupled with that of a proton gradient .it is the action of proton gradient that causes the proton motive force that allows ATP synthase to phosphorylase ADP and inorganic phosphate to ATP
