Exam 41: Nutrition and Metabolism

Both vitamins and minerals act as coenzymes for the body.

An increased blood sugar level stimulates which of the following to occur?

The conversion of proteins to glucose is an example of:

Nutrient anabolism is required to rebuild ADP into ATP.

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -Process that moves high-energy electrons from cytochrome to cytochrome and produces ATP and forms water

Explain what occurs in the anaerobic pathway. What is the Cori cycle? What is meant by the oxygen debt?

Glycolysis is unique in carbohydrate metabolism in that it is the only process that does not occur in the mitochondrion.

The citric acid cycle, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the Krebs cycle all refer to the same process.

Some essential acids are used in the formation of phospholipids.

The hormone capable of causing both protein anabolism and catabolism is:

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -The use the body makes of foods after they have been digested, absorbed, and circulated to cells

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -Occurs when nutrient molecules enter the cell and undergo many chemical changes

Which of the following minerals is important in bone formation, blood clotting, and nerve function?

Hormones that cause the blood level of glucose to rise are called hypoglycemic.

A high level of HDLs is associated with a low incidence of heart disease.

Glycolysis releases only about 25% of the energy stored in the bonds of a glucose molecule.

Protein, or nitrogen, balance means protein:

Which of the following carbohydrates cannot be absorbed directly into the cells?

Nutrition can be explained most simply by describing it as the way your body uses food.

An end product of the anaerobic pathway of glucose is lactic acid.
