which of the following are parts of the NADH dehydrogenase
complex?
Ans: flavin mononucleotide and iron-sulfur centers
which of the following is synthesized from glucose 6-phosphate and
used in reduction reactions to synthesize fatty acids and steroid
hormones?
Ans: NADPH
what best describes the relationship between catabolism and
anabolism?

Ans: transport, lipid transport
which lipoprotein type transports mainly endogenous lipids to adipose
tissue for storage
Ans: very low density lipoproteins
Fatty acids are broken down by a process called
Ans: beta-oxidation
Production of fatty acids, ketone bodies, and cholesterol from acetyle
coenzyme A occurs in the
Ans: smooth ER
occurs by removing electrons from organic compounds and passing
them to oxygen, occurs in the internal mitochondrial membrane

stimulate gluconeogenesis
Ans: cortisol and glucagon
transport dietary lipids to adipose tissue for storage
Ans: chylomicrons
the process of removing a carbon dioxide molecule
Ans: decarboxylation
Stimulated by: stomach distension, partially digested proteins and
caffeine in stomach, high pH of stomach, chyme stimulates gastric
secretion by enteroendocrine G cells
Effect: promotes secretion of gastric juice, increases gastric motility,
and promotes growth of gastric mucosa, constricts lower esophageal
sphincter, relaxes pyloric sphincter
Ans: Gastrin
stimulated by acidic chyme that enters small intestine
secreted by S cells
effect: stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice and bile, inhibits gastric
juice, enhances CCK
