Exam 24: Nutrition,metabolism,and Body Temperature Regulation

Processes that break down complex molecules into simpler ones are anabolic.

The increased use of noncarbohydrate molecules for energy to conserve glucose is called glucose sparing.

The patient is a 28-year-old female with type-1 diabetes mellitus.She developed viral gastroenteritis with nausea and vomiting.She did not take her insulin and she became increasingly nonresponsive.Her husband called 911 and she was taken to the emergency room.Her pulse rate was 128 and her respiratory rate was 28,deep,and smelled fruity (Kussmaul breathing).Her urinary glucose and ketone levels were both 4+.Her pH was dangerously low.Explain how the body attempted to compensate for the low serum pH.

Which of the choices below is NOT a source of blood glucose during the postabsorptive state?

Ghrelin,produced by the stomach,is a powerful appetite stimulant.

The body is considered to be in nitrogen balance when the amount of nitrogen ingested in lipids equals the amount excreted in urine.

Define amino acid pool and explain how the pool is maintained even though we excrete amino acids daily.

Match the following: -Produces the most ATP.

The primary function of carbohydrates is energy production within cells.

Match the following: -Heat transfer into the chair you are sitting on.

Prostaglandins play a role in ________.

In the case of a person who consumes a normal,balanced diet,proteins are essential to the body for all of the following EXCEPT ________.

When blood glucose levels are low,the body begins to use more noncarbohydrate fuels for energy production.This process is called glucose activation.

The ingestion of which nutrient type results in the greatest food-induced thermogenesis?

Which of the following nutrients yield the highest amount of energy per gram when metabolized?

Figure 24.1 Using Figure 24.1, match the following: -Contains ATP synthase rotor rings.

Catabolism would be best described as a process that ________.

Glycogenesis begins when ATP levels are high,and glucose entering cells is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate and converted to its isomer,glucose-1-phosphate.

The ________ acts as the body's thermostat.

High levels of HDLs are considered good.
