Interpretation:
The given set of events should be arranged based on the sequence events occur after having meal.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: It is change the chemical composition of food with the aid of digestive enzymes.
- 1. Carbohydrate
- 2. Protein
- 3. Lipid
Digestive enzymes are special proteins that help break up large molecules of food into very little molecules that can be absorbed and used in the cell.
Blood glucose level: If the glucose level is above normal the pancreases will sense this and excrete more insulin into the liver. The liver is converted glucose to glycogen.
If the glucose level is below normal, the pancreases will secrete more glucagon which converts glycogen to glucose, after that bring the glucose up to the original level.

- During the fed state, which of the following occur(s)? a) insulin stimulation of malonyl CoA formation b) allosteric inhibition of carnitine acyltransferase I c) both a and b d) neither a nor barrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, correct the statement or provide a brief explanation for why it is a) The presence of lipids in the diet slows down digestion in the b) Insulin increases the rate of glucose uptake by the c) Glucagon is the hormone that signals low blood glucose d) Chylomicrons carry TAGs from the diet into the e) During fasting and starvation the liver produces ketone bodies which fuel the heart and f) The muscles can use glucose, fatty acids and ketone bodies for g) When glucose enters the cell it is immediately and reversibly h) Epinephrine stimulates breakdown of glycogen in muscles when there is an immediate need for energy by muscle i) Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis to maintain the blood glucose j) With high [carbohydrate] levels, excess glucose (after glycogen storage has reached a maximum) is converted to fat, leading to high [malonyl-CoA]. k) Malonyl-CoA inhibits carnitine acyltransferase II , thus slowing…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? a) High insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in muscle b) High insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits lipolysis in liver c) High insulin/glucagon d) Low insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytesarrow_forward
- During periods of fasting or starvation, the presence of ketone bodies in the circulation causes: (a) an increase in blood pH. (b) a decrease in blood pH. (c) a neutral blood pH. (d) diabetes insipidus.arrow_forwardThe following is a typical underlying factor in obesity-induced inflammation a) Increased secretion of the adipokine adiponectin b) Higher lipolysis rate in hypertrophied adipocytes c) Increased insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue d) Conversion of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophagesarrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following conditions would increase or decrease the rate of gluconeogenesis and briefly explain your answer.(a) high blood glucose level(b) secretion of insulin(c) secretion of glucagon(d) high levels of ATParrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about brain metabolism in starvation? a) The brain can use glucogenic amino acids for energy b) The brain can only use glucose as fuel c) Up to a quarter of energy requirement of the brain can come from fatty acids d) Up to a half of energy requirement of the brain can come from ketone bodiesarrow_forwardInsulin and glucagon are controlled by negative feedback mechanisms. Put them in the right order from when you eat. a)Glucose enters the bloodstream faster than the cell can use it. b) Glucose levels rise. c) Beta cells of pancreas are stimulated to release insulin into blood. d) Cells take up glucose. e) Cells of the liver convert glucose to glycogen f) The level of glucose in blood stream returns to normal.arrow_forwardThe hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? (a) A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further lowers blood glucose concentration. (b) An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. (c) A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. (d) An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. (e) None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forward
- Many diabetics do not respond to insulin because of a deficiency of insulin receptors on their cells. How does this aff ect (a) the levels of circulating glucose immediately after a meal and (b) the rate of glycogen synthesis in muscle?arrow_forwardLow insulin to glucagonratio is seen in all of these except :- A) glycogen synthesis B) glycogen breakdown C) gluconeogenesis D) ketogenesisarrow_forwardExplain the differences between a) glycogenolysis, b) gluconeogenesis, and c) glycogen synthesis. Mention what hormone(s) have a direct effect on each process.arrow_forward
