NS 1410 Exam with
correct answer
Absorption of fats - correct answer - -
Triglycerides in the chylomicrons must be
disassembled by lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
before they can enter body cells
- After entering the body cells, triglycerides
can be:
- used immediately for energy
- used to make lipid-containing compounds
- stored in muscle and adipose tissues
absorption of the products of lipid digestion -
correct answer - - the majority of lipid
absorption occurs in the small intestine w the
help of micelles
,active transport - correct answer - requires
energy and a protein carrier to transport
nutrients (glucose, amino acids, some
minerals)
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - correct
answer - an organic compound used by cells
as a source of metabolic energy
- energy is stored in the high-energy
phosphate bonds
- when the bonds are broken, they relate
energy
- this energy is used to do work of the cell
- small rampant of ATP is stored in every cell
for immediate use
- ATP is the "currency" used by the body for
energy
Alcohol - correct answer - - moderate
alcohol consumption (one serving for women,
,two for men) may be associated with lower
CVD risk
- one serving is:
- 1 1/2 oz hard liquor
- 5 oz wine
- 12 oz beer
- increases a form of HDL cholesterol
- decreases the tendency of blood to clot
amino acid transport - correct answer -
transported via the portal vein to the liver to:
- be converted to glucose or fat
- build new protein
- be used for energy
- be released into the blood to other cells
Amino acids - correct answer - Essential
amino acids
, - can't be produced in sufficient quantities to
meet physiological needs
- must be obtained from food
Nonessential amino acids
- can be synthesized in sufficient quantities
anabolism - correct answer - is the process
of molecules from smaller ones
- critical for growth, repair, maintenance, and
synthesis of body tissue
Arachidonic acid (omega-6) - correct answer
- - increases blood clotting
- increases inflammatory responses
biological value - correct answer - an
assessment of how efficiently dietary protein
is converted into body tissues, determined by
comparing the amount of nitrogen retained in
the body with the amount of nitrogen that is
consumed
