Explain briefly the physiological reason for this survival rule: When left in an island with little or no freshwater, never eat solid food in large volume; eat only small portions at a time.
For people who want to lose weight, one of the most popular diets is a protein-rich, carbohydrate, and fat-free diet. One risk of this diet is the formation of kidney stones. Explain why

- The small intestine of the pig has significantly more surface area (through folds and villi) than that of the frog, and if you were to remove them, the small intestine of the pig is several times longer than that of the frog. This additional surface area maximizes nutrient absorption by the pig. Why might the pig need more energy from its food than the frog?arrow_forwardCats should eat more than once a day. Mention two research articles related to this topic.arrow_forwardSailors used to pack a few food items with a high caloric load to have the energy to survive the physically demanding deck work when crossing oceans. However, they felt weak after a few weeks at sea. What type of nutrients is likely missing?Do not be specific. Think of the big question, and write a short answer.arrow_forward
- In which tube is there evidence of hydrolysis of protein in peptic and pancreatin digestion?arrow_forwardA young man says that he is consuming much more protein in his diet than the recommended amount. 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_forwardIn Argentina cows where the meat comes from are grass-fed. In the pampas, one of the most important farming regions, you see the cows freely roaming and eating grass in fields. As a result, the beef cuts are leaner and healthier. Explain and explain what this tells us about Argentina's BBQ.arrow_forward
- In the presence of sunlight, Vitamin D precursors are produced. This is important for the transport of sodium in our intestines. Is this statement true or false?arrow_forwardThe stomach has two types of exocrine secretory cells: chief cells that secrete an inactive form of a protein-digesting enzyme, pepsinogen parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), which activates pepsinogen Both these cell types have an abundance of mitochondria for ATP production - the chief cells for the energy needed needed to synthesize pepsinogen, the parietal cells for the energy needed to transport H+ and Cl- from the blood into the stomach lumen. But only one of these cell types also has an extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum and abundant Golgi stacks. Explain which cell type would have extensive rough ER and Golgi stacks and why. Also explain which cell type would not have as extensive a rough ER and Golgi stacks and why.arrow_forwardWhat does these figures illustrate in detail?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statement is correct? a. disaccharides, glucose is the main source of energy for mammals b. hunger pangs are initiated by low high-density lipoprotein in the blood c. duodenum is the smallest part of the small intestine and is the main site for absorption d. it takes 4-6 hours for the bolus to be transported in the anal canalarrow_forwardThe stomach has two types of exocrine cells, chief cell which secrete an inactive form of the protein degesting enzymes pepsinogen, and parietal cells , which secrete hydrochloric acid that activates pepsinogen.Both cell types have an abundance of mitochondria ATP production.The chief cells need energy to synthesise pepsinogen and parietal cells need energy to transport hydrogen ions and chloride ions from the blood into the stomach lumen.Only one of this cell types has an extensive roung endoplasmic and abandant Golgi stacks. Would this be the chief cells or parietal cells?why?arrow_forwardFigure 16.7 Which of the following statements about the digestive system is false? a. Chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that is produced in the stomach. b. Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine. c. In the small intestine, chyme mixes with bile, which emulsifies fats. d. The stomach is separated from the small intestine by the pyloric sphincter.arrow_forward
