Topic: Cellular Metabolism

Question

Carbohydrates are not the only macromolecule that are metabolized by our body cells.

Identify the process that allows the cell to metabolize fatty acids?
Identify the process that allows the cell to metabolize proteins (amino acids)?
Identify the common molecule that is produced from the oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids, and protein?

Answer 1

I think the answer to the last question is sugar.  Specifically glucose.  Something in the back of my memory is telling me all fats and proteins can be broke down to sugar (glucose) and carbohydrates are already a form of sugar (glucose).
