4. The term used for the conversion of glucose to glycogen
5. The term used to describe fatty acid catabolism (breakdown) to acetyl CoA
6. The set of reactions by which ATP (energy) is produced	C
7. The conversion of amino acids to glucose
8. The term used to describe glycogen catabolism (breakdown)
9. Ketone are produced from what compound
10. The term used for the conversion of acetyl CoA to fatty acids

Answer 1

1. The conversion of glucose to pyruvate is called glycolysis (j)

2. The conversion of fatty acids to acetyl CoA is called beta-oxidation (g)

3. Oxaloacetate and Citrate (citric acid) are intermediates in the citric acid cycle (a)

4. The term used for the conversion of glucose to glycogen is called glycogenesis (b)

5. The term used to describe fatty acid catabolism (breakdown) to acetyl CoA is called lipolysis (f)

6. The set of reactions by which ATP (energy) is produced is through electron transport chain (c)

7. The conversion of amino acids to glucose occurs through gluconeogenesis pathway (i)

8. The term used to describe glycogen catabolism (breakdown) is glycogenolysis (d)

9. Ketone is produced from acetyl CoA (h)

10. The term used for the conversion of acetyl CoA to fatty acids is lipogenesis (e)
