Answer to Question 1

B
Amino acids undergo deamination, removal of the amino group, before they can be metabolized to release energy. Beta-oxidation is part of the process of metabolism of fatty acids. Glycogene-sis is the process by which glycogen is formed from glucose. Ketogenesis is the formation of ke-tone bodies when fat is used for energy and there is insufficient oxygen for aerobic glycolysis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl coenzyme A before they enter the TCA cycle. Keto acids are formed as protein is metabolized to release energy. Pyruvic acid is a substance that is formed as nutrients are converted to acetyl coenzyme A. Ketone bodies are formed when fat is metabo-lized to release energy and there is insufficient oxygen for aerobic glycolysis.
