who got keep rabbits ?

pls go get ur facts rite...Originally posted by starblue:erm... the synthesis of glucose only occurs in plants...
the oxaloacetate thing is involved in photosynthesis... but we're talking about animals here.
adipose tise refers specifically to the lumps of fat deposited under the skin. fats in general include a lot of things, including adipose tissue. hopy studies biology?? how old are you???
in times of starvation our body MAKE glucose little girl -
Gluconeogenesis does occur in animals too...it happens in the liver....n during starvationOriginally posted by starblue:erm... the synthesis of glucose only occurs in plants... the oxaloacetate thing is involved in photosynthesis... but we're talking about animals here.

lolz.. you're talking about extremes darling. people in here not interested in wad happens when u starve. just include the everyday things.. but anyway u dun have to get too aggressive xia...
dun talk biology liao... later hopy huntum me... -
wat i mean by starvation not when u few days no eat lor.. in between meals when the glucose in ur blood stream goes down due to usage by ur diff body function it's already in starvation mode lor.. n tt's when glycogen is being used to provide tt source of energy and therefore no FATs can be made coz no glycogen is available to make the triacylglycerides lorOriginally posted by starblue:lolz.. you're talking about extremes darling. people in here not interested in wad happens when u starve. just include the everyday things.. but anyway u dun have to get too aggressive xia...

btw.. this is not called biology its known as biochemistry
n mi not being aggressive here, juz trying to correct some mistakes here n there so tt pple will not hv the wrong info u c
-
erm.... you sure u got study biology before???Originally posted by hopy:wat i mean by starvation not when u few days no eat lor.. in between meals when the glucose in ur blood stream goes down due to usage by ur diff body function it's already in starvation mode lor.. n tt's when glycerol is being used to provide tt source of energy and therefore no FATs can be made coz no glycerol is available to make the triacylglycerides lor
between meals you dun use glycerol to burn for energy.. you breakdown your body's store of glycogen first. unless you're saying you starve until dun even have glycogen left to burn....
and er.... excess proteins can sometimes be converted to fats....
and dun be so calculative... biochemistry is part of biology. -
orh... ok.. me still considered noob in biology ba...Originally posted by hopy:btw.. this is not called biology its known as biochemistry
n mi not being aggressive here, juz trying to correct some mistakes here n there so tt pple will not hv the wrong info u c u havent tell me yet... u study biology de??? my senior?? how old are u? -
gal.. wat i meant is the usage of glycogen (sorry for the typo i its glycogen not glycerol) means breaking down of glycogen by glycogen phosphorlyase into glucose so tt the body can use tt souce of energy lah n its an ongoing process lor, ur body dun juz oh no more glycogen liao then switch on gluconeogensis one lor.. coz it takes time to warm up the sys so when the storage of glycogen is being used, gluceoneogensis is already ongoingOriginally posted by starblue:erm.... you sure u got study biology before???

n gal, do u know tt at higher levels, conc in biology is a totally diff thing fr biochem -
hmmm.... i dun really like biochem anyway... all thsoe equations and stuff.. wad's higher level biology like?? y u dun wanna tell me which year u are in??

biology and biochemistry are not mutually exclusive...Originally posted by hopy:gal.. wat i meant is the usage of glycogen (sorry for the typo i its glycogen not glycerol) means breaking down of glycogen by glycogen phosphorlyase into glucose so tt the body can use tt souce of energy lah n its an ongoing process lor, ur body dun juz oh no more glycogen liao then switch on gluconeogensis one lor.. coz it takes time to warm up the sys so when the storage of glycogen is being used, gluceoneogensis is already ongoing

this way....you're going to say cellular biology is different from biology....

erm.. questions:Originally posted by hopy:n tt's when glycogen is being used to provide tt source of energy and therefore no FATs can be made coz no glycogen is available to make the triacylglycerides lor

1) triacylglycerides is produced from glycogen?? you sure??? or is it typo again??
2) gluconeogensis is the process of converting glycogen to glucose. so the sentence "ur body dun juz oh no more glycogen liao then switch on gluconeogensis one lor" doesn't make sense.... no more glycogen liao then will have no gluconeogensis le wad..... are you confused or am i the confused one??? -
ya lah ya lah.. i know i got to take metabolism, physiology and all.. haiz... but quiet interesting lah, if not for all the equations.Originally posted by Werewolf:biology and biochemistry are not mutually exclusive...

wah lao how come got those chim chim words coming from thie keeping rabbit topic? u guys r going out of point

eh?? no lah.. we're just too passionate towards biology.Originally posted by RaTtY81:ok. i tot i here king kiang king kiang sword crossing sound -

ratty should take notes too.. rabbits are also rodents right?
and so is my hamster

rodents eat anything
from candle wax to worms to alfalfa to whatever seeds left lying aroundOriginally posted by RaTtY81:ok whos gonna feed me to keep me from staving? -

erm.. rabbits do not belong to the Order Rodentia. they belong, instead to the Order Lagamorpha. so technically, rabbits are not a kind of rodent.Originally posted by the Bear:ratty should take notes too.. rabbits are also rodents right?

Let me give you two definitions first:Originally posted by hopy:gal.. wat i meant is the usage of glycogen (sorry for the typo i its glycogen not glycerol) means breaking down of glycogen by glycogen phosphorlyase into glucose so tt the body can use tt souce of energy lah n its an ongoing process lor, ur body dun juz oh no more glycogen liao then switch on gluconeogensis one lor.. coz it takes time to warm up the sys so when the storage of glycogen is being used, gluceoneogensis is already ongoing

(1) Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). The production of glucose from other metabolites is necessary for use as a fuel source
--> Can occur in plants/humans
--> Substrates in humans include lactate and/or pyruvate
(2) Glycogen is formed by the liver from glucose in the bloodstream and is stored in the liver; conversion of glucose to glycogen (glycogenesis) and hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) together are the usual mechanism for maintenance of normal levels of blood sugar
--> This is the process which you're referring to I believe.....
However, note that formation/breakdown of glycogen depends on glucose levels in your body which is tightly regulated.
Glycogen <---------> Glucose:
This pathway depends on the amount of glucose in your body. Basically, what starblue said is correct. Upon consumation of a meal, the level of glucose in your body should RISE which shifts the reaction TOWARDS glycogen. Therefore, you should have Glycogen <---- Glucose.
However, after your body (mainly your brain) uses up glucose for aerobic metabolism, you need glucose as an energy source. Thus, it now becomes Glycogen ---> Glucose.
Note that this process is a CONVERSION. Not synthesis.....
Please refer to point 1 for glucose synthesis as I do not wish to extend my post too long -
okay.. my mistake
them teeth confuse me
cute little critters tho'Originally posted by starblue:erm.. rabbits do not belong to the Order Rodentia. they belong, instead to the Order Lagamorpha. so technically, rabbits are not a kind of rodent.
