- Which of the following is false about carbohydrates? a. they serve as supportive structure; and protective components in the cell walls of the bacteria and plants b. they are essential components of the genetic material c. they can act as ligands and receptors in cellular communication d. they are generally non-polar and supply the body with fat-soluble vitaminsarrow_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_forwardCarbohydrates in the plants are stored in the form of: I. Glycogen II. Starch III. Glucose IV. Maltosearrow_forward

Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Steroid All statements are true except A. Fats are solid at room temperature because they are saturated triglycerides. Fats are produced by animals and oils by plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature because they are unsaturated triglycerides. Fats and oils have the same properties and characteristics and are not different from one another.arrow_forward
- Food 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 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_forward
- Fat can be defined loosely as a source for energy storage in the human body. The human anatomy is designed to carry food reserves to ensure the body's survival when food becomes scarce. However, in our slim-conscious society, many people go to great lengths to keep fat from accumulating on their bodies, sometimes with harmful effects. Fat is more efficient in storing energy than carbohydrates for several reasons. First, fat is a highly concentrated energy source. Second, fat weighs less than the same energy amount of carbohydrates. Third, fat is much more efficient to carry as an energy source because it does not hold water as do carbohydrates. For example, an average 70-kilogram human male normally has about 11 kilograms of fat in his body. This fat represents enough stored energy to keep him alive for a month without eating. The same amount of energy stored as starch would double his body weight. Which view does the passage support? A. Fats lead to high levels of cholesterol. B.
