Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantage that the integration of protein, carbohydrate, and fat
Introduction: During consumption of food, an intake of glucose occurs along with many other components, including fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and others. For the breakdown of these, an integration of different metabolic pathways, for instance, fat metabolic pathway, protein metabolic pathway and glucose metabolic pathway is required.

Where do most of the metabolic processes occur?
Liver (cells)
Small Intestine (cells)
Adipose Tissue (cells)
Pancreas (cells)
Does biochemistry involve nutrition? If so, which loading method, either carbohydrate or lipid, would be the best to utilize pre- and during aerobic performance? And how can carbohydrate or lipid loading negatively impact aerobic performance?
Which of the following processes would happen on a large scale during starvation (and not in a person who eats regularly)?
Chylomicrons deliver lipids to adipose (fat) cells
Gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney; glucose is secreted into blood
Protein catabolism in muscle cells; liberated amino acids are funneled into the Krebs cycle
Triglycerides previously stored in adipose tissue undergo lipolysis; glycerol is used by the liver for gluconeogenesis

Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step A) requires the input of energy from ATP. B) requires the input of energy from NADH. C) releases energy which is captured in the form of ATP. D) releases energy which is captured in the form of NADH.arrow_forward

- Which statement best summarizes the steps are involved before sugar is able to enter the bloodstream? (a) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until it becomes oxygen in the blood stream until we chemically break oxygen away from it to get energy we can use (b) we mechanically break down food until it turns into sugar and enters the bloodstream and can be broken down for energy we can use (c) food and oxygen are broken down by the digestive system and they’re chemically combined to make sugar, which we can use as energy (d) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until nutrients enter the bloodstream and can be combined with oxygen to create energy we can usearrow_forwardWhat is the reason that amino acid degradation spikes approximately 24 hours after starting a fast? (A) The brain adapts to using ketone bodies, and amino acids serve as the primary precursors for ketone bodies.(B) Red blood cells begin using amino acids to drive their citric acid cycle.(C) Amino acids are broken down and used to replenish glycogen. (D) The liver needs to make glucose for brain and RBCs, and amino acids provide the carbon skeleton for gluconeogenesis.(E) The ammonia released from amino acid breakdown is a substrate for b-oxidation, which increases during prolonged fasting.arrow_forwardWhy energy balance is so important?arrow_forward
