Question

You are in the absorptive state during/after a meal. Which of the following is NOT a possible transformation of the glucose that you absorb from that meal that can occur in your body? O Alcose can be absorbed by body cells and used to synthesize ATP via cellular respiration. O B The glucose can absorbed by skeletal muscle fibers, converted to glycogen, and stored there. The glucose can absorbed by liver cells, converted to glycogen, and stored there. 0 D The glucose can be absorbed by adipocytes, converted into lipids, and stored as fats (triglycerides) there. OE The glucose can be absorbed by liver cells, converted into lipids, and secreted into the blood in the form of VLDLs OF The glucose can be absorbed by liver cells, converted into amino acids via amination reactions, and secreted into the bloodstream

Explanation / Answer

In Absorptive state, food is present in the GI tract and absorption pf glucose occurs in muscle, liver and adipose tissue as glycogen and triglycerides.

So the answer is (F)

Glucose cannot be converted into amino acids. Amination is a process in which amine group is attached to an organi c compound. In liver amino acids are broken down to keto acids and released into the blood.
