Exam 41: Nutrition and Metabolism

What is ATP and why is it important to the functioning of the cell? Describe the ATP/ADP cycle or system.

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -Energy-releasing process by which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules

The monosaccharides fructose, glucose, and galactose are all equally useful to the cell.

High blood concentrations of LDLs are associated with atherosclerosis.

If a person's total metabolic rate (TMR) were 2400 calories, would his or her basal metabolic rate (BMR) be more or less than 2400 calories?

Adenosine triphosphate has three high-energy phosphate bonds.

Fats produce more than twice the amount of calories per gram than do carbohydrates.

Deamination, the splitting off of an amino group from an amino acid molecule to form a molecule of ammonia and one of keto acid, is the first step in protein:

The citric acid cycle is important because it produces more ATP than any other process in carbohydrate catabolism.

Oxidative phosphorylation refers to the joining of a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP.

One benefit of exercise is that it tends to increase blood levels of LDL.

A hormone that stimulates the conversion of proteins to glucose is:

Which of the following is not considered a macronutrient?

Of the 20 amino acids used by the body, the body can synthesize 18.

Saturated fats are usually liquids at room temperature.

Which of the following stimulates protein synthesis?

The metabolic rate refers to the amount of energy released by catabolism.

All types of complex carbohydrates are broken down in the body into simpler carbohydrates before they are absorbed.

Products derived from anabolism may differ from cell to cell.

ATP is useful for the long-term storage of chemical energy derived from nutrients.
