Carbohydrate Metabolism and Hormonal Regulation Quiz

Glycogen phosphorylase breaks down glycogen into glucose.

Insulin's primary role is converting glucose into glycogen.

The liver primarily stores glycogen in the body.

Glycogen is the primary storage form of glucose in animals.

Glucose-6-phosphatase catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose.

Glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown in the liver.

The process is called Glycolysis.

Glycogen stores are the main source of glucose during fasting.

Cortisol inhibits glycogen synthesis and promotes gluconeogenesis.

The process is called Gluconeogenesis.

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue.

Insulin promotes glucose uptake by cells.

Lactic acid is the end product under anaerobic conditions.

Phosphofructokinase-1 catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glycolysis.

Glucagon increases blood glucose levels.

ATP is the primary energy currency of cells.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is involved in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA.
