Biochemistry
Lecture 14
Compiled By Simon Mwangi
Edition: 2024/25
, Science | Biochemistry I of VII pages
1. metabolism
biochemical reactions for the breakdown and synthesis of carbs, lipids and amino acids
2. glycogenosis
glucose storing disorder
3. carbs are stored as
starch and gylcogen
4. excess carbs converted to
fat
5. salivary a amylase
found in mouth, starts breakdown but not for long
6. pancreatic a amylase
breaks disaccharides into
maltose, sucrose and lactose
7. maltase
breaks down maltose into glucose, fructose and galactose
8. sucrase
breaks down sucrose into glucose, fructose and galactose
9. lactase
breaks down lactose into glucose, fructose and galactose
10. lactose intolerance is caused by deficiency of
lactase
11. path of carbs
glucose in intestine-liver to be stored as glycogen or continues as glucose-glucose can be converted to fat-can
12. glucose
major carbmajor fuel can be stored as glycogencan be used to form glycoproteins and proteoglycan
13. glycolysis
happens in cytoplasmdoes NOT require oxygenrequires NAD+
breakdown of glucose to produce 2(ATP +NADH+ Pyruvate)
goes on to continue other pathways
14. hexose monophosphate shunt
glucose NADPH, ribose 5 phosphate and others
(use glucose for building blocks)
15. glycogen synthesis
