Learning Objectives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Please see Overview & Learning Objectives.
( i attached some examples from other students in my class to give u an idea for this first topic. )
Describe the steps that carbohydrates, fats, and protein go through to generate ATP in the metabolic cycle within the cell.
Why can’t glucose be produced from fatty acids? Please refer to the text for the explanation of why fats don’t provide glucose in the metabolic cycle. (Chapter 6: end of chapter– Energy and Nutrient Metabolism).
What are the end products of metabolism for carbs, fats, protein? All are broken down into 3 common substances. What are they?
next topic:
Learning Objective 4: Explain the breakdown of glucose within the cell: How glucose is used & stored. See chapter 6: Energy Nutrients and Metabolism–Carbohydrates and Glucose.
The low carb diet has been popular for weight loss. 1. Discuss why/how it promotes the formation of ketones. 2. Is this helpful? Why/why not? 3. How does the low carb “keto” diet promote weight loss? 4. How does weight lost on the keto diet compare with weight loss with other low calorie diets?
Give a metabolic explanation for why carbs are needed for normal metabolism.
