Beta oxidation is the initial phase of fatty acid oxidation, and it occurs in the cytoplasm. -
CORRECT ANSWERS False
The increased use of noncarbohydrate molecules for energy to conserve glucose is called
glucose sparing. - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Except for lactose and some glycogen, the carbohydrates we ingest are mainly from animals.
- CORRECT ANSWERS False
The term essential nutrient refers to the chemicals that can be interconverted in the liver so
that the body can maintain life and good health. - CORRECT ANSWERS False
The most abundant dietary lipids in the diets of most Americans are triglycerides. - CORRECT
ANSWERS True
There are no complete proteins. All animal products should be eaten with plant material to
make a complete protein. - CORRECT ANSWERS False
The body is considered to be in nitrogen balance when the amount of nitrogen ingested in
lipids equals the amount excreted in urine. - CORRECT ANSWERS False
The amount of protein needed by each person is determined by the age, size, and metabolic
