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.
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
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.
Glucose is broken down into acetyl-coenzyme A (glycolysis). In liver or adipose tissue acetyl-coA can form lipids. Insulin is one of the most important factors, it is released from pancreas after sugar intake and stimulates the formation of fat.
The glucose then is converted to it's ready use form glycogen. Then when needed it is converted back into glucose for cellular respiration.
Glycogen is converted into glucose when it leaves the liver. This glucose can then be released into the bloodstream to be used by other tissues in the body.
Once digested, 100% of carbohydrates are converted to glucose. However, approximately 40% of protein foods are also converted to glucose, but this has minimal effect on blood glucose levels.

The glycerol backbone. The glyceol backbone undergoes metabolism to become glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is one of the reactants in glycolysis. Two molecules of G3P becomes one molecule of glucose in a process that is the reverse of glycolysis called gluconeogenesis.
A statement that is not correct about glucose and triglycerides is that they are both types of lipids. Glucose is a type of sugar, while triglycerides are a type of fat.
Approximately 40% of the energy in glucose is released as heat during cellular respiration. The rest of the energy is converted into ATP, which is used by the cell for various functions.
"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...
Glucose is converted to fat in the body through a process called lipogenesis. When there is an excess of glucose in the bloodstream, the liver converts it into fatty acids and glycerol, which are then combined to form triglycerides, the main type of fat stored in the body. This process is regulated by enzymes and hormones, such as insulin, and occurs primarily in the liver and adipose tissue.
Triglycerides are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol through a process called lipolysis. Fatty acids are then converted into acetyl-CoA molecules, which enter the Krebs cycle to produce energy in the form of ATP. Glycerol can also be converted to glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis to provide additional energy.
