Yes. lipids are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol by hydrolysis, glycerol can be converted to glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate which can be a start point for gluconeogenesis, in which glucose is formed.

Approximately what percentage of triglycerides CANNOT be converted to glucose?
triglycerides consist of 3 fatty acids and glycerol. because fatty acids break down to acetyl CoA they cannot be made into glucose. the glycerol portion of a triglyceride can be converted to pyruvate and thus yield glucose. and glycerol is about 5% of a triglyceride molecule. So the answer is 95% of a triglyceride (fatty acid) cannot be converted to glucose.
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
What in gluconeogenesis during the postabsorptive state amino acids and what are converted to glucose?
glycerol
What are the four basic units derived from food?
glucose, amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids.
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?
glycerol(:
Can the body convert glycerol into glucose?
Yes, glucose is stored in the body as glycerol. When the body needs more glucose it will convert some glycerol into glucose and put it into the bloodstream. No, glucose is not stored in the body as glycerol. It is stored in the body as glycogen. Glycerol is the backbone of triglycerides, and in order to be used for energy, It must be converted into glycerol-3-phosphate, after that may enter the pathway of glycolysis, or may enter the process of gluconeogenesis (generation of glucose from non-carbohydrates source).

Is sugar made up of glycerol and fatty acids?
No. Sugars are carbohydrates, such as glucose. These are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are usually found in a ring structure.
Is glucose formation from glycerol a catabolic reaction?
it is anabolic process
What is an organic product of glucose that can be oxidized within the mitochondria?
Glycerol
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
Glycerol what it is made of?
Glycerol is made of carbon,hydrogen, & oxygen
What is an example of a lipid monomer?
- CH2- : The monomer of a triglyceride is one glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
How does glycerol act as energy reserve?
In certain organisms including Eukaryotic cells, glycerol produced in the metabolism act as a reserved energy. When the the cells lack in glucose, the stored fat will be digested to form glycerol and fatty acid by the liver's enzyme, resulting in an increase in glycerol and fatty acid in the blood stream. In addition, some cases glucose can be turned to form glucose by liver via glycolysis or gluconeogenesis depending on physiological property of the cells
What in gluconeogenesis during the postabsorptive state amino acids and what are converted to glucose?
glycerol
