Which of the following is NOT a nutrient monomer used by the body to generate ATP? a. amino acids b. nucleic acids c. fatty acids d. glucose

Bile Salts are:  a.   a mixture of amphipathic molecules which emulsify fatty acids in the small intestine b.   enzymes present in saliva that digest proteins into amino acids c.   made by the liver and secreted from the gall bladder into the duodenum d.   enzymes that digest “dietary fiber” (cellulose) in the esophagus e.   enzymes present in saliva that make bread taste sweet after chewing

You are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes.  You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning.  Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study.  Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group?  Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body?   What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.  Identify the dependent variable…

Insulin is an example of a (an) Select one: a. storage protein b. enzyme c. hormone d. transport protein

works by breaking down foods in the diet or compounds in the body into their smaller components.                     Select one: a. Neither is correct b. Anabolism c. both of them d. Catabolism

Which of the following is true?a. Triglycerides have the least energy content per gram of the three majorenergy sources in the body.b. Fat catabolism generates new triglycerides for storage in adipose tissue.c. By mass, the total-body content of carbohydrates exceeds that of total triglycerides.d. Catabolism of fatty acids occurs in two-carbon steps.e. Triglycerides are the major lipids found in plasma membranes

The following is true about ergosterol, EXCEPT: (Select all that apply) a. found in plants b. found in animals c. less unsaturated d. precursor of vitamin e

The characteristics of vitamin P include the followings except: Select one: a. It increases the level of hyaluronidase which prevents the oxidation of ascorbic acid and adrenaline, as result it increases the strength of the blood vessels and capillaries b. It is related to flavonoids and phenolic compounds c. It decreases the capillary fragility and their permeability d. Vitamin P acts synergistically with ascorbic acid

Which of the following descriptions about essential amino acids is correct?   Select one:   a. Essential amino acids cannot be absorbed by human body.   b. There are 11 essential amino acids.   c. The body can synthesize proper proteins with missing essential amino acids.   d. Vegetables are richer in essential amino acids when compared with meat.   e. Meat has high protein quality than vegetable.
