Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect.

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

Adenosine diphosphate has only two high-energy phosphate bonds.

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

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

Oxidative phosphorylation refers to the breakdown of ATP into ADP, phosphate, and energy in the presence of oxygen.

Strong evidence supports the usefulness of vitamin supplements for athletic performance.

If four molecules of glucose were broken down by glycolysis, the cell would receive _____ molecules of ATP.

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

Epinephrine stimulates glycogenesis in the cells as part of the "fight-or-flight" response.

The cells add phosphate to glucose so it can pass through the cell membrane more easily.

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

The preferred energy fuel of the body is:

The process by which proteins are synthesized by the ribosomes in all cells is called protein:

If 4 molecules of glucose were broken down by glycolysis, the cell would gain _____ molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Distinguish between saturated and unsaturated fats.

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

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

In the human body, anabolism would not be possible without catabolism.
