Solved in 2 steps
- If both cellulose and starch are just polymers of glucose, why can we only get glucose from starch, while cellulose cannot be digested by our bodies? What is missing for cellulose?Carbohydrates are widely recognized as sources of metabolic energy. What are two other critical roles that carbohydrates play in living organisms?What are the so-called“good” and “bad” cholesterol?
- What property of Lauric acid that makes it as either good fat or fat?How Cholesterol is essential to life ?Among the many eat-all-you-want-and-lose-weight diets that have been popular for a time is one that eliminates all carbohydrates but permits the consumption of all the protein and fat desired. Would such a diet be effective?
- Why do lipids make you feel full for a long time after a meal?provide two reasons why cholesterol is important in the body?In biochemistry, what form of iron, ferric or ferrous, is most readily absorbed by the body? What does that information suggest about the dietary availability of iron in “aged” meat?
