If you fed an experimental animal (a mammal) a special food that consisted of all 20 amino acids, glucose and a wide variety of fatty acids, along with all needed vitamins and minerals, how would its digestive system handle this food? What would be normal and what, if anything, would be abnormal about its food processing? Is it likely to be adequately nourished?
What are the 3 macronutrients and how do each provide energy to the body? Define the fed, post-absorptive, fasting, and starved states.

Thomas is challenged by his friends to consume a large 1 Kg steak. While consuming the steak, he also consumes a fair amount of Cola. An hour after he completed the challenge, a blood sample is taken from which his average amino acid and glucose concentration is determined. His results show that his glucose concentration is above normal but his amino acid concentration is normal. Provide an explanation as to why his amino acid concentrations are normal and not also elevated even though he consumed a 1 Kg steak.
