Bile is secreted in the small intestine for the digestion of: Carbohydrates Protein Bacteria Fats Which of the following statements are NOT true about protein and the diet? Most adults require 0.8 grams of protein per kg Weightlifters require protein supplements to build muscle Protein contains the nitrogen element Protein yields 4 kcal/g of energy A meal of beans and corn tortillas provides complete protein An essential amino acid can not be synthesized by the body Plant proteins are high quality protein Amino acids are the building blocks for protein Animal proteins are incomplete proteins An essential amino acid can not be synthesized by the body Question 6 0 / 0 pts Question 7 0 / 0 pts Question 8 0 / 0 pts Question 15 0 / 0 pts This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :25:33 GMT -06:00 Which organ makes bile to be used for fat digestion in the small intestine? Liver Pancreas Gallbladder Kidney An organ that is important in the digestion of fats that occurs in the small intestine is the: Spleen Gallbladder Transverse Colon Kidney This organ stores bile to aid in digestion of fats in the small intestine: Liver Spleen Gallbladder Pancreas This is also called non fermentable fiber: Monosaccharides Disaccharides Insoluble Fiber Soluble Fiber Functional Fiber Hard dry stools related to a low fiber diet. Constipation In what portion of the GI tract is bile used for digestion of fats? Liver Pancreas Gallbladder Small Intestine Question 9 0 / 0 pts Question 10 0 / 0 pts Question 11 0 / 0 pts Question 12 0 / 0 pts Question 13 0 / 0 pts Question 14 0 / 0 pts This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :25:33 GMT -06:00 Examples of this include sucrose and maltose: Monosaccharides Disaccharides Insoluble Fiber Soluble Fiber Functional Fiber Fats and oils in food are mostly in the form of triglycerides Lecithin is an example of a sterol Cholesterol is made by the body in adequate amounts to meet our needs Phospholipids are another class of fats Saturated fats can increase cholesterol levels Saturated fats are found mainly in animal sources Trans fats are naturally occurring fats that raise cholesterol levels Saturated fats are solid at room temperature Stick margarine is an example of a saturated fat Canola oil is an example of an unsaturated fat A burning sensation in the esophagus. Heartburn/GERD Sphincters play an important role in the GI tract. Generally speaking, what is that role? Three key sphincters are the esophageal sphincter, the pyloric sphincter, and the ileocecal sphincter. Give the location of each and why each is important. Sphincters maintain the "forward" flow through the digestive system. The esophageal sphincter - between the esophagus and stomach - prevents the contents of the stomach from reentering the esophagus The pyloric sphincter - separates the stomach and small intestine - controls the release of chyme into the small intestines from the stomach. The ileocecal sphincter – between the small and large intestine - prevents the contents of the large intestine from entering the small intestine. Question 16 0 / 0 pts Which of the following statements are NOT True concerning fats and lipids? Question 17 0 / 0 pts Question 18 0 / 0 pts Question 19 0 / 0 pts This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :25:33 GMT -06:00 What organs assist in digestion but are not considered to be a part of the GI tract? Other organs such as the liver, gallbladder, salivary glands and pancreas aid in digestion but are not considered part of the GI tract. What is the difference between animal sources for proteins and plant sources for proteins? What is it called when several plant proteins combine? The biological value of a protein is different in animal vs plant sources. Animal sources are considered high quality or complete proteins. Plant sources are considered lower quality or incomplete proteins. When two or more plant proteins combine, the proteins are called complementary proteins. This disease is not well understood but causes bloating and abdominal pain. IBS Examples of this include fructose and galactose:A Monosaccharides Disaccharides Insoluble Fiber Soluble Fiber Functional Fiber Weak spots in the colon that result in the formation of small pouches.
