T/F Adipose tissue is capable of complete gluconeogenesis (i.e. can synthesize glucose). - Correct
Answer False
T/F The liver is the major site of gluconeogenesis. - Correct Answer True
Glycogen synthase: - Correct Answer Is the required site of glycogenesis.

T/F Insulin increases pyruvate kinase activity and decreases the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxykinase. - Correct Answer False
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate: - Correct Answer Activates glycolysis via phosphofructokinase-1 while
inactivating glycogenolysis via fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
In skeletal muscles, glycogen synthase: - Correct Answer Is always active when not phosphorylated
Pyruvate dehydrogenase is NOT regulated by: - Correct Answer Glucagon
The major regulated step in the TCA cycle is: - Correct Answer Citrate synthase

True
The regulated step of beta-oxidation is: - Correct Answer Carnitine acyltransferase I
During beta-oxidation, cis-unsaturated fatty acids generate less energy than saturated fatty acids
because: - Correct Answer There is no net gain of electrons during the FAD-dependent oxidation step
when double bonds are present.
Synthesis of a fatty acid via megasynthase requires _____ NADPH. - Correct Answer 14
