NDSU HNES 250 Exam 3 Questions and
Answers
How many kcal are in alcohol verses lipids? - Answer-alcohol= 7 kcal/g
lipids= 9 kcal/g
What is fetal alcohol syndrome? How can you avoid it? - Answer-irreversible brain damage and growth
problems as a result of mom drinking while being pregnant, to avoid don't drink while pregnant if you
are, or are trying to become pregnant
What is the ADH pathway? - Answer-used to metabolize moderate amounts of alcohol
What is the MEOS pathway? - Answer-used to metabolize excessive amount of alcohol
Where is alcohol oxidized? - Answer-the liver
What is catabolism and when does it occur? - Answer-breakdown of molecules to extract energy from
food
What is anabolism and when does it occur? - Answer-form building blocks to produce new molecules
, What part of the cell produces most of our energy? - Answer-mitochondria
What energy producing pathways occur in different parts of the cell? - Answer-amino acids,
carbohydrates, fats;
common pathways>all lead to energy
What metabolic pathways can glucose, lipids, and triglycerides follow, either producing energy or
storing energy, and what are the intermediates in each pathway? - Answer-Glucose: glycolysis,
producing, stored and glycogen in fat cells.
Lipids: beta-oxidation, producing, stored at triglycerides in fat cells.
Triglycerides: lipolysis, producing, stored as fat.
What is lactic acid? - Answer-another name for the Cori cycle
When does our body use the Cori cycle? - Answer-during times when adequate oxygen supply is not
present in the body (heavy exercise)
Deamination? - Answer-amino acids are broken down if there is an excess of protein intake
Beta-oxidation? - Answer-catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the
mitochondria to generate acetyl-CoA
Glycolysis? - Answer-the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
Gluconeogenesis? - Answer-a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-
carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.
