How ketogenic amino acid converted to glucose?

Ketogenic amino acids cannot be converted to glucose as both carbons are ultimately degrades into CO2


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.


What cannot be formed from pyruvate in human beings?

In humans, pyruvate cannot be directly converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This is because humans lack the specific enzymes required to convert pyruvate into glucose. Pyruvate can be converted into lactate or acetyl-CoA, which can then enter various metabolic pathways in the body.


Why is glucose important to science?

because if we do not have glucose we cannot produce a glucose..


What process is energy converted to glucose?

I believe you may have misinterpreted a concept. You cannot convert energy into matter. However, if you meant "what process is glucose converted to energy?" then the answer would be glucose hydrolysis and the Krebs Cycle (for organisms involved in oxidative phosphorylation). It's a very beautiful process involving innumerable proteins and molecules =D.


Is a paramecium heterotrophic?

Yes, Paramecium is heterotrophic.It has no chlorophyll or other means of synthesizing organic matter, such as glucose, from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water. So it cannot be autotrophic.It must obtain organic compounds from other organisms, and is therefore heterotrophic.


How do animals store glucose?

Most animals store glucose as glycogen in liver and muscles .


What is 500ml converted into pounds?

The units are incompatible and cannot be converted.


Which of the following cannot be classified as a substance gold nitrogen table salt or air?

Gold and Nitrogen are elements, not compounds of elements like "Air" or "Table Salt."


How is energy provided to the muscles while exercising vigorously?

Muscle cells need a specific form of energy for contraction and cannot use the energy released directly from breaking down glucose or triglycerides. Rather, body cells must first convert food to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). So to answer simply, yes. But glycogen isn't used directly. Glycogen is converted to glucose, and then that is converted to ADP+pi, and that is converted finally to ATP, which is actually what fuels locomotion of the muscles when exercising. This is a very non-detailed answer, but I hope it provides the answer you were looking for. Muscle cells need a specific form of energy for contraction and cannot use the energy released directly from breaking down glucose or triglycerides. Rather, body cells must first convert food to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Food is digested and processed into ATP through sever different stages. Glycogen is converted to glucose, and then that is converted to ADP+pi, and that is converted finally to ATP, which is actually what fuels locomotion of the muscles when exercising. This is a non-detailed answer, but provides the basics of how muscles get energy.


Why can you not use oxygen in compounds to breathe?

Our metabolisms take advantage of a reaction between oxygen gas and compounds such as glucose to release energy. Oxygen compounds do not contain the same energy and do not react in quite the same way with other substances, so we cannot use them. Most substances that are as reactive as oxygen are toxic, but we have adapted specifically to be able to use oxygen.


What percentage of stored body fat is triglycerides?

"glycerol can yield glucose, but that represents only 3 of the 50 or so carbon atoms in a triglyceride-about 5% of its weight. The other 95% cannot be converted to glucose." Understanding Nutrition 11th Ed. pg 223 Hope that helps... I had that question too...
