Discuss how the basic units of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid are utilized in energy pathways to produce energy. You will need to list and describe the specific energy pathways that are used by each nutrient. What are the differences andsimilarities? In a state of starvation, several changes happen within our bodies. Discuss these metabolic changes.

1) Discuss the differences between an essential and a nonessential nutrient in terms of dietary consumption. Can the body survive without the provision of essential and nonessential nutrients? If an individual utilizes basic diet-planning principles, can he or she be sure that he or she will be able to obtain all the necessary essential nutrients? Why or why not?
1.What are the net products after one molecule of Glucose goes through the process of Glycolysis ? Answer should include the product name and Net products ' means that if a molecule was consumed during the process that should be subtracted from the final number . 2. Distinguish between fat- and water-soluble vitamins, and list the vitamins in ea group. 3. A molecule of Glucose has just gone through Glycolysis and been converted into Pyruvic Acid. Explain what will happen to Pyruvic Acid if oxygen is not present in sufficient quantities to continue with the path through the electron transport system .
Discuss the relative effectiveness of dieting and exercise in losing weight noting that most athletic activities consume food energy at a rate of 400 to 500W while a single cup of yogurt can contain 1360KJ (325 kcal) specifically is it likely that exercise alone will be sufficient to lose weight? You may wish to consider that regular exercise may increase the metabolic rate, whereas protracted dieting may reduce it
Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but the body metabolizesthese sugars differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin releasefrom the pancreas (see section 28.4); fructose does not. Moreover, insulinstimulates leptin release. Finally, fructose is more likely than glucose tobe converted to fat. Use this information to propose an explanation for thecorrelation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose cornsyrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.
Consider a 96 kg adult, who is overweight. Weight loss would improve their general health and wellbeing. If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs? 2. This 96 kg adult decides to begin a starvation diet to lose weight. They aim to reduce their weight to 75 kg, which will be a weight loss of 21 kg. If the only source of nutrient energy for this 96 kg adult is the oxidation of fatty acids stored at TGs, how long (in days plus hours) will it take for this person to lose 21 kg of their body weight under starvation conditions? The daily energy expenditure for this 96 kg adult is 8700 kJ. This is equivalent to the recommended Australian average daily energy intake of 8700 kJ. 3. Calculate the weight loss in kg/day under such starvation conditions if the oxidation of fatty acids stored as TGs were the…
Given the discussions on the link between metabolism and energy demand, which of the following statements would be accurate? a. Compared to glycogenolysis, lipolysis is the more heavily relied upon for supporting the energy needs at rest b. Upon transition from rest to exercise, the amount of carbohydrate metabolism decreases c. Due to its low energy:substrate molar ratio, CrP metabolism does not contribute to the energy needs during rest. d. All of the above are accurate statements
2.Define nutrient density. How nutrient dense is your diet? Explain.What is one specific item you consumed that was NOT nutrient dense? Why isn’t it nutrient dense? What would be a better alternative to this?
Which of the following statements regarding glycogen are true? A. Glucose from glycogen can be metabolized anaerobically B. Approximately 1-2% of muscle weight is glycogen, whereas 10-15% of liver weight is glycogen C. It is faster for the muscle to obtain energy from glycogen than from lipids D. A and B are true E. B and C are true F. Both A, B, and C are true

What are the 3 macronutrients and how do each provide energy to the body? Define the fed, post-absorptive, fasting, and starved states. Outline changes in the utilization of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and ketone bodies as the body transitions from the fed state to the prolonged starvation state. Describe the impacts of insulin, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol on CHO, lipid, and protein metabolism. Describe the major pathways that occur in the liver, muscle, adipose tissue. Describe which hormones exercise tends to increase and potential impacts on pathways we’ve discussed. Describe the cori cycle and the glucose-alanine cycle. Describe differences in primary fuel sources by exercise intensity. Describe classical vs moderate CHO loading in preparation for competition in trained athletes. Simple to the point answers please!
