Metabolism Discussion

No unread replies.No replies.

In this Week's Discussion Board I want you to choose one of the following topics to explain. This is less of a discussion, and more of a way I can gather that you understand the material.  For each of the topics, you need to think about and discuss these questions.

· Where to the Macros come into the metabolic process?

· Tell me each step they take through the pathway.

· How does one molecule become another?

· Use the terms needed correctly (glycolysis, beta-oxidation, lipolysis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, etc)

· And what ultimately becomes of those macros? 

Choose a topic (one of the 4 listed below): 

#1) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and protein in the fed state. 

#2) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and fat in the fed state. 

#3) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and amino acids in the short term fasting states (prior to using up all your glycogen). 

#4) Explain how the body metabolizes fats in the fasting state once you have used up all your glycogen stores.
