Why must red blood cells rely solely on glycolysis to make ATP
and rely on the Cori Cycle? - ANSWER Red blood cells do not
have Mitochondria.
What are advanced glycation end products (AGEs)? - ANSWER
Glucose molecules linked to lipids or proteins without the need
for enzymes
Why are blood glucose levels high in patients with unmanaged
Diabetes Mellitus? - ANSWER Cells do not move enough GLUT4
transporters to their cell membranes.
What kind of molecule is glycogen? - ANSWER A complex
carbohydrate
What happens in the muscle cells when they respond to
insulin? - ANSWER GLUT4 transporters move to the surface of
the cell.
What is the function of fermentation during anaerobic
metabolism? - ANSWER Regenerates the NAD+ needed for
glycolysis.
