Exam 41: Nutrition and Metabolism

Show in an equation form the end products of glucose catabolism. Use one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen to begin the equation.

One of the roles of pyruvic acid in anaerobic respiration is to convert NADH back to NAD.

Polysaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides have to be digested before they can be absorbed into the internal environment.

The smell of acetone on the breath is a sign of ketosis.

The enzyme that catalyzes glucose phosphorylation is:

Just as there are essential amino acids, there are essential fatty acids.

One function of lactic acid is to convert NADH back to NAD.

The most common lipids in the diet are:

Insulin comes from the beta cells of the pancreas.

The process of glycolysis produces four molecules of ATP, but the cell gains only two molecules of ATP.

Unsaturated fats are usually liquids at room temperature.

Metabolism requires the use of enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

Catabolism of fatty acids, without any other food product availability, causes the production of:

Fats have a "carbohydrate-sparing" effect, or more correctly, a "carbohydrate-storing" effect.

The hormone that has a tendency to inhibit fat catabolism is:

In the anaerobic pathway, glucose can be converted to lactic acid without the use of oxygen. The lactic acid can then enter the citric acid cycle.

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -Evaluation of food and drink (nutrient) requirements for normal body functions

Nutrition can be defined in part as the process by which the organism ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, utilizes, and excretes food substances.

Which of the following is not part of "basal conditions"?

Which of the following types of cells contains phosphatase?
