Across
- 2. Process that breaks down ammonia into urea to be excreted from the body
- 5. Spherical particles that transport lipids through the blood and lymph
- 7. Intermediate in VLDL metabolism
- 9. Activates the other pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine
- 14. Produces ketone bodies for energy during low glucose
- 15. Remove cholesterol from tissues, rich in protein and phospholipids
- 16. Brush border enzyme that converts trypsinogen to trypsin
- 17. The hunger hormone
- 19. Breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids for energy
- 21. Released after meals in response to rising blood glucose
- 22. Deliver cholesterol to tissues
- 23. The first step of amino acid metabolism, where an amino group is removed from an amino acid and transferred to a-ketoglutarate
Down
- 1. Oxidizes fatty acids in mitochondria to make ATP
- 3. Triglycerides and proteins that are packaged together within the enterocyte
- 4. Deliver fatty acids and monoglycerides which enter enterocytes by simple diffusion
- 6. Amino group is removed from n amino acid, converting it to a keto acid
- 8. Stores excess energy as fat in the form of triglycerides
- 10. Inactive form of an enzyme that prevents self-digestion
- 11. Emulsify fat droplets to increase the surface area and expose them to lipases
- 12. Keto acid is converted to an intermediate to enter the citric acid cycle
- 13. When levels are low, the brain increases hunger and conserves energy
- 18. Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides during lipid digestion
- 20. Transport endogenous triglycerides from liver
