1.

In the process of respiration, fuels

a. are stored as triacylglycerol.
b. are oxidized to generate ATP.
c. release energy principally as heat.
d. combine with CO2 and H2O.

2. The liver is the only tissue that

a. contains significant glycogen stores.
b. oxidizes ketone bodies during overnight fasting.
c. converts ammonia to urea.
d. converts glucose to lactate.
e. Coverts pyruvate to lactate.
3. In a well-nourished individual, as the length of fasting
increases from overnight to 1 week

synthesizing one molecule of pyruvate, the net yield of
ATP and NADH would be which of the following?
a. 1 ATP, 1 NADH.
b. 1 ATP, 2 NADH.
c. 2 ATP, 2 NADH.
d. 3 ATP, 1 NADH.

8. Which of the following statements correctly describes

an aspect of glycolysis?
