Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify whether the condition when protein synthesis exceeds protein degradation produces a positive nitrogen balance or a negative nitrogen balance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen balance is defined as the state of when the amount of nitrogen intake by the human body in form of proteins is equal to the amount of nitrogen expel out form the body as a waste product.
The difference in the nitrogen intake and nitrogen output from the body result in nitrogen imbalance. There are mainly two types of nitrogen imbalances:
1. Positive nitrogen balance
2. Negative nitrogen balance
(b)
Interpretation: To identify whether growth “spurt” produces a positive nitrogen balance or a negative nitrogen balance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen balance is defined as the state of when the amount of nitrogen intake by the human body in form of proteins is equal to the amount of nitrogen expel out form the body as a waste product.
The difference in the nitrogen intake and nitrogen output from the body result in nitrogen imbalance. There are mainly two types of nitrogen imbalances:
1. Positive nitrogen balance
2. Negative nitrogen balance
(c)
Interpretation: To identify whether degradation of protein for energy production produces a positive nitrogen balance or a negative nitrogen balance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen balance is defined as the state of when the amount of nitrogen intake by the human body in form of proteins is equal to the amount of nitrogen expel out form the body as a waste product.
The difference in the nitrogen intake and nitrogen output from the body result in nitrogen imbalance. There are mainly two types of nitrogen imbalances:
1. Positive nitrogen balance
2. Negative nitrogen balance
(d)
Interpretation: To identify whether wasting illness produces a positive nitrogen balance or a negative nitrogen balance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen balance is defined as the state of when the amount of nitrogen intake by the human body in form of proteins is equal to the amount of nitrogen expel out form the body as a waste product.
The difference in the nitrogen intake and nitrogen output from the body result in nitrogen imbalance. There are mainly two types of nitrogen imbalances:
1. Positive nitrogen balance
2. Negative nitrogen balance
