- Can you answer all the parts to following question, true or false: Q23: A: The breakdown of a fatty acid produces more energy than the breakdown of glucose (True or False) B: Acetyl-CoA can be directly converted to pyruvate through the TCA (True or False) C: Glucagon stimulates the liver to store energy by performing glycolysis (True or False) D: The keto diet is dangerous due to the risk of developing ketoacidosis (True or False)arrow_forwardDiscuss the process of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Explain the metabolic pathways in carbohydrate metabolism.arrow_forwardIn controlled clinical trials, the consumption of soft drinks containing artificial sweeteners was observed to result in an increased appetite for carbohydrate-containing foods. Based on your knowledge of appetite control by the brain, speculate as to why this phenomenon occurs.arrow_forward
- Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, explain why.(a) The amino acid pool is found mainly in the liver.(b) Nitrogen-containing compounds can be stored in fatty tissue.(c) Some hormones and neurotransmitters are synthesized from amino acids.arrow_forwardFood faddists often make exaggerated claims about certain types of food. For instance, some promoters of weight-loss diets claim that carbohydrate (for example, rice) is harmful and should be omitted from the diet or intake of carbohydrate significantly reduced. There is a saying that “fats burn in the fire of carbohydrates”. What is the meaning of this? What would be the effect of a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake on the utilization of fats for energy? Cite the biochemical mechanisms that support your answer.arrow_forwardGiven 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 statementsarrow_forward
- Digestion is the first stage in the extraction of energy from food, but no useful energy is acquired during this stage. Why is digestion considered a stage in energy extraction?arrow_forwardExplain the phrase “diet-induced thermogenesis” and relate it to the problem of obesity in some people.
