✔✔within saliva, there are important enzymes that begin the digestion of carbohydrates
and triglycerides (T/F) - ✔✔true
✔✔which of the following is NOT an important function of gastric acid? - ✔✔inactivates
pepsin
✔✔Bile acids are reabsorbed in the ileum and are returned to the liver in a process
called - ✔✔enterohepatic circulation
✔✔water-soluble nutrients are absorbed into the central lacteal, while lipid soluble
substances are absorbed into capillaries within the intestinal villi (T/F) - ✔✔False
✔✔Which is the dominant naturally occurring isomer form for monosaccharides? -
✔✔D-isomer

✔✔what type of linkages allow for branching in starch (amylopectin) molecules? -
✔✔a(1,6)
✔✔starch (amylose and amylopectin) is called a homopolysaccharide, because it
contains only - ✔✔glucose

✔✔the majority of carbohydrate digestion takes place in the stomach (T/F) - ✔✔False
✔✔which two monosaccharides compete for absorption through the sodium/glucose co-
transporter 1 (SGLT1) - ✔✔Glucose and Galactose
✔✔the glycemic index represents a more "real-world" view of glycemic response (when
compared to glycemic load) because it normalizes the carbohydrate consumption to a
standard serving size (T/F - ✔✔False
✔✔Which glucose transport protein (GLUT) is responsible for reducing blood glucose
levels in the blood through its effect in insulin-sensitive cells? - ✔✔GLUT4
✔✔Which hormone is known for its anabolic effects on carbohydrate, leading to cellular
uptake and building of stores, thus lowering blood glucose levels - ✔✔insulin
