During starvation, the liver synthesizes and secretes ketone bodies into the blood for use as fuel by different organs (other than the liver) of the body: What biochemical are ketone bodies converted to in these organs in order to enter the Citric Acid Cycle? Oxaloacetate Citrate Pyruvate Succinyl-CoA Acetyl-CoA

The increased use of ketone bodies by what tissue enables us to conserve protein during starvation? Liver Brain Skeletal muscle All body tissues 10. Which one of the following pathways does NOT occur in mitochondria? Beta-oxidation Citric acid cycle Ketogenesis Glycolysis 11 At the completion of the citric acid cycle the majority of the chemical energy that was originally present in metabolic fuels is now found in: ATP reduced coenzymes chemical bonds water and carbon dioxide. 12. Carbons from glucose enter the citric acid cycle as: acetyl-CoA pyruvate lactate
