1. Why can't fatty acids serve as fuel for the brain?
2. The human body has a storage capacity for excess carbohydrates and fats but not for excess proteins. What consequences does this have for a daily diet?
3. Explain how a high concentration of glucose causes a decrease in the rate of glycolysis.
4. Ketone bodies are said to be better fuel for our bodies. Discuss the pros and cons.
5. Discuss how glycerol metabolism utilized glycerol that otherwise would be excreted
Homework Answers
1. Fatty acids do not serve as fuel for the brain, because they are bound to albumin in plasma and so do not traverse the blood-brain barrier. In starvation, ketone bodies generated by the liver partly replace glucose as fuel for the brain.
