Glucose in the liver can be stored as glycogen or they can also be converted into triglycerides (in order to store fat). In order to convert glucose to fatty acids it has to go through pyruvate and Acetyl-CoA

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for us and they serve as structural components. They mainly contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a molar ratio of 1 carbon: 2 hydrogens: 1 oxygen. We

High blood sugar in type 2 diabetes is due to a condition called insulin resistance. As the body becomes more and more insulin resistant, the pancreas responds by releasing more and more insulin. This

While on a fasted state, the organs and tissues are on a high necessity for energy. In this scenario the liver will go through the steps of glycogenolysis. There is a non-reducing end at every end of every

Starch is made up of two forms of glucose polymers. These are the linear sequenced amylose and the branched out tree-like amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose linked together by alpha 1-4

Glucose has many hydroxyl groups which makes it very hydrophilic. There are two types of transporters. The GLUTs are all sodium and ATP-independent and are found all throughout the body in all cell types.

The Krebs cycle is a biochemical pathway that is used to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-coA. It is also used for the synthesis of NADH and for the production of amino acids. Pyruvate is

The cell does not allow everything to come in and out making it selectively permeable. A concentration gradient are molecules moving from high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached. When we

All cells have a cell membrane that separates the inside of the cell from its environment. The cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid and DNA, which is the cells genetic material. The first category is eukaryotic

Today was unexpected. I didn’t have any plans and somehow it was a good day. I barely get to spend time with my mother so today we spent quality time together. The past few days I have been following
