In the context of absorptive state reactions, which process converts excess glucose or amino acids to fatty acids for use in the synthesis of triglycerides?
A) glycogenesis
B) lipogenesis
C) glycogenolysis
D) lipolysis
E) gluconeogenesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipogenesis is the process that converts excess glucose or amino acids to fatty acids for use in the synthesis of triglycerides. Glycogenesis is the process of converting glucose to glycogen for storage. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of stored glycogen to release glucose. Lipolysis is the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. Gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids or glycerol.
