T/F Insulin increases pyruvate kinase activity and decreases the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxykinase. - ANSWER-False
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate: - ANSWER-Activates glycolysis via phosphofructokinase-1 while inactivating
glycogenolysis via fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase

The regulated step of beta-oxidation is: - ANSWER-Carnitine acyltransferase I
During beta-oxidation, cis-unsaturated fatty acids generate less energy than saturated fatty acids
because: - ANSWER-There is no net gain of electrons during the FAD-dependent oxidation step when
double bonds are present.
