- Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. Carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for the human body. b. The main storage form of glucose in the human body is starch. c. Lipids contain oxygen and are therefore polar covalent molecules. d. Steroids, phospholipids, and triglycerides are all types of lipids. e. Proteins are composed of strings of fatty acids linked by glycosidic bonds. f. Amino acids have a carboxylic group on one end and an amino group on their other end.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is True?a. Most fat-soluble vitamins serve as coenzymes.b. Water-soluble vitamins are vitamin C and the B complex vitamins.c. Water soluble vitamins accumulate in adipose tissue.d. Most vitamins can be synthesized by the body.arrow_forwardFood faddists often make exaggerated claims about certain types of food. For instance, some promoters of weight-loss diets claim that carbohydrate (for example, rice) is harmful and should be omitted from the diet or intake of carbohydrate significantly reduced. There is a saying that “fats burn in the fire of carbohydrates”. What is the meaning of this? What would be the effect of a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake on the utilization of fats for energy? Cite the biochemical mechanisms that support your answer.arrow_forward
- Carbohydrates in the plants are stored in the form of: I. Glycogen II. Starch III. Glucose IV. Maltosearrow_forwardWhich of the following is the compound that animals use to store sugars? Select one: a. Cellulose b. Glucose c. Starch d. Amylopectin e. Glycogen f. Chitinarrow_forwardWhich 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. glucosearrow_forward
- Which of the following are differences between starch and glycogen? A. Starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin while glycogen is a pure biopolymer. B. The amylopectin instarch has more branches than glycogen. C. Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants while glycogen is in animals and humans. D. The branches in amylopectin is alpha 1->6 while itis beta 1-->6 in glycogen. E. Starch reacts more intensely with Lugol's reagent than glycogen.arrow_forwardFood supplies us with the matter necessary to build living tissue and the energy to do work. There are three main types of macromolecules found in the food we eat; carbohydrates, lipids and protein. Food also contains vitamins and minerals, but we are not concerned about those during this activity. Each of these types of macromolecules vary in structure and function and they also store different amounts of energy.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a physiological role of phosphorus? Select one: a. Required for ossification of bones during embryonic development b. Required for enzymatic conversions in glycolysis c. Links together ribose sugars and their associated nitrogenous bases d. Important compound required to inhibit auto-oxidation of fatty acidsarrow_forward
- Which of the following cannot be used to produce readily usable energy in cells? A. lipids B. carbohydrates C. proteins D. all can be usedarrow_forwardIn comparison to glycogen, fats can provide more energy for the body per carbon atom. Why? 1. Fats are more oxidized than glycogen 2. Fats are more reduced than glycogen 3. Fats are larger molecules than glycogen 4. Fats are more polar than glycogenarrow_forwardWhen young rats are placed on a completely fat-free diet, they grow poorly, develop a scaly dermatitis, lose hair, and soon die. These symptoms can be prevented if linoleate or plant material is included in the diet. What makes linoleate an essential fatty acid? Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize long-chain fatty acids with 14 or more carbons. Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize odd-number fatty acids. Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids. Animals lack the enzymes required to introduce double bonds into fatty acids beyond the A9 position.arrow_forward
