Across
  1. 5. A two-carbon acetyl group bonded to coenzyme A.
  2. 6. An amino acid that provides carbon atoms for the synthesis of glucose.
  3. 7. The products of ketogenesis: acetoacetate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone.
  4. 8. The pathway that converts acetyl CoA to four-carbon acetoacetate and other ketone bodies.
  5. 9. A long-chain fatty acid bonded to coenzyme A.
  6. 11. The main hormone that stimulates the formation of fatty acids.
  7. 13. The types of cells that store energy in the form of triacylglycerols.
  8. 15. The amount of protein that we break down from our diet and utilize for synthesis of proteins and nitrogen-containing compounds.
  9. 17. This class of enzymes (also known as transaminases) catalyzes the transfer of amino groups.
  10. 18. The transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to an α-keto acid.
Down
  1. 1. The process by which ammonium ions from the degradation of amino acids are converted to urea.
  2. 2. An amino acid that provides carbon atoms for the synthesis of fatty acids or ketone bodies.
  3. 3. Lipoprotein particles, also known as ultra low-density lipoproteins, that help transport dietary lipids.
  4. 4. The loss of ammonium ion when glutamate is degraded to α-ketoglutarate.
  5. 10. Transport system that carries fatty acids into the mitochondria.
  6. 12. The normal metabolic condition that occurs when the body uses ketone bodies for energy instead of glucose.
  7. 14. The degradation of fatty acids that removes two-carbon segments from a fatty acid chain at the oxidized β-carbon.
  8. 16. The process through which two-carbon acetyl units link together to yield fatty acids.
