During digestion, triacylglycerols are converted by lipases to _____ and _____. a. glycerol; free fatty acids c. diacylglycerols; free fatty acids b. monoacylglycerols; free fatty acids d. chylomicrons; micelles. Hydrolysis of triacylglycerols in adipose tissue is triggered by hormones that stimulate _____ production within adipose cells that stimulate lipases in these cells. a. ATP c. NADH b. cyclic AMP (cAMP) d. fatty acid. What is the fate of the glycerol that is produced during mobilization of triacylglycerols in adipose cells? a. It enters the bloodstream and is transported to joints where it functions as a lubricant. b. It is converted to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which is an intermediate in gluconeogenesis. c. It is converted by a two-step process to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which is an intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. d. Both (b) and (c). What is the first step in the oxidation of a fatty acid? a. It is activated by bonding to coenzyme A. b. It is transported into the mitochondrial matrix. c. It is oxidized to acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle. d. It undergoes dehydrogenation. What is the net ATP production for stearic acid? a. 136 c. 146 b. 106 d. 126. When the lipid-carbohydrate metabolism is upset by certain body conditions, more acetyl CoA is produced that can be used in the citric acid cycle. This results in the production of _____ by a process known as _____. a. glucose; gluconeogenesis c. glycogen; glycogenesis b. ketone bodies; ketogenesis d. carbon dioxide; decarboxylation. Lipogenesis occurs in the cell _____, where all intermediates are bound to _____, resulting in a fatty acid biosynthetic pathway where the fatty acid chain increases in length by _____ carbons per pathway cycle. a. mitochondria; CoA-SH; 4 c. mitochondria; CoA-SH; 2 b. cytosol; ACP-SH; 4 d. cytosol; ACP-SH; 2.
