Chapter 14, Problem 34SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The food sources that help in the synthesis of various important molecules like enzymes.
Introduction:
Nutrients are the substances that are required by an organism to maintain health. These nutrients are essential for the development and growth of all plants and animals. These are classified into micronutrients and macronutrients.
Macronutrients are required and consumed in relatively large amounts. They function in generating energy, growth, and repairing of tissues. Micronutrients are the nutrients that are required by the body in very minute quantities. Dietary minerals and vitamins are some of the micronutrients that play important role in physiological functioning and maintains the health of the individual.

Which statement best summarizes the steps are involved before sugar is able to enter the bloodstream?
(a) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until it becomes oxygen in the blood stream until we chemically break oxygen away from it to get energy we can use
(b) we mechanically break down food until it turns into sugar and enters the bloodstream and can be broken down for energy we can use
(c) food and oxygen are broken down by the digestive system and they’re chemically combined to make sugar, which we can use as energy
(d) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until nutrients enter the bloodstream and can be combined with oxygen to create energy we can use

- Which of the following processes would happen on a large scale during starvation (and not in a person who eats regularly)? Chylomicrons deliver lipids to adipose (fat) cells Gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney; glucose is secreted into blood Protein catabolism in muscle cells; liberated amino acids are funneled into the Krebs cycle Triglycerides previously stored in adipose tissue undergo lipolysis; glycerol is used by the liver for gluconeogenesisarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes chylomicrons? A type of lipoprotein that transports lipids from the small intestine to body cells. A byproduct of fat metabolism that results in fatty acids that are then transported to the body cells. A type of cholesterol that transports lipids from the small intestine to body cells.

- Which of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following: The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones, fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body. Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of glucose into the cells. Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when concentrations are low. Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple pathways and have multiple fates. The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.arrow_forwardThe following question is regarding digestion and energy balance, in this scenario you have just finished eating a sandwich - Make a drawing that shows where digestion takes place for each component of the sandwhich like the bread, vegtables, and protein.

Macronutrients provide cells with energy whereas micronutrients provide protein cofactors. Water soluble vitamins can be stored long-term. Enriched foods contain synthetic vitamins to replace natural vitamins lost during processing. Fortified foods contain vitamins and minerals not originally found in the foods.

He feels that he needs the extra amount just in case he wants to build more muscle mass in the near future. How would you respond to him? Group of answer choices It should be fine because the cells in his body will store the extra amino acids for future use. If he has excess calories in his diet, he may gain fat from converted protein. The extra protein will be used as fuel instead of carbohydrate. His body won't digest the extra protein and will eliminate the excess in feces. The excess amino acids can only be stored for up to 48 hours.arrow_forward
