Exam 41: Nutrition and Metabolism

When the blood glucose levels rise to 80 to 90 mg/dl, it stimulates the formation of glycogen in cells.

Both the appetite and the satiety center are found in the hypothalamus.

Assimilation is an intracellular event.

The level of glucose in the blood has an impact on the appetite center.

Explain how the lack of oxygen would inhibit the Krebs cycle.

Both pregnancy and lactation can increase the basal metabolic rate.

Lipoproteins are produced primarily in the liver.

Lipids are transported in blood as chylomicrons, lipoproteins, and free fatty acids.

Glucagon increases the activity of:

Whereas insulin tends to decrease the blood glucose level, glucagon tends to increase it.
