Interpretation:
The given set of events should be arranged based on the sequence events occur after having meal.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: It is change the chemical composition of food with the aid of digestive enzymes.
- 1. Carbohydrate
- 2. Protein
- 3. Lipid
Digestive enzymes are special proteins that help break up large molecules of food into very little molecules that can be absorbed and used in the cell.
Blood glucose level: If the glucose level is above normal the pancreases will sense this and excrete more insulin into the liver. The liver is converted glucose to glycogen.
If the glucose level is below normal, the pancreases will secrete more glucagon which converts glycogen to glucose, after that bring the glucose up to the original level.

- Define glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipogenesis. Which is (are) likely to be occurring (a) shortly after a carbohydrate-rich meal, (b) just before waking up in the morning?arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, correct the statement or provide a brief explanation for why it is  a) The presence of lipids in the diet slows down digestion in the b) Insulin increases the rate of glucose uptake by the c) Glucagon is the hormone that signals low blood glucose d) Chylomicrons carry TAGs from the diet into the e) During fasting and starvation the liver produces ketone bodies which fuel the heart and f) The muscles can use glucose, fatty acids and ketone bodies for g) When glucose enters the cell it is immediately and reversibly h) Epinephrine stimulates breakdown of glycogen in muscles when there is an immediate need for energy by muscle i) Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis to maintain the blood glucose j) With high [carbohydrate] levels, excess glucose (after glycogen storage has reached a maximum) is converted to fat, leading to high [malonyl-CoA]. k) Malonyl-CoA inhibits carnitine acyltransferase II , thus slowing…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? a) High insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in muscle b) High insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits lipolysis in liver c) High insulin/glucagon d) Low insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytesarrow_forward
- The following is a typical underlying factor in obesity-induced inflammation   a) Increased secretion of the adipokine adiponectin  b) Higher lipolysis rate in hypertrophied adipocytes  c) Increased insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue  d) Conversion of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophagesarrow_forward(a) Briefly describe the relationship between intracellular malonyl-CoA levels in the liver and the control of ketogenesis. (b) Describe how the action of hexokinase IV helps the liver to buffer the level of blood glucose.arrow_forwardDuring periods of fasting or starvation, the presence of ketone bodies in the circulation causes: (a) an increase in blood pH. (b) a decrease in blood pH. (c) a neutral blood pH. (d) diabetes insipidus.arrow_forward
- What is the reason that amino acid degradation spikes approximately 24 hours after starting a fast? (A) The brain adapts to using ketone bodies, and amino acids serve as the primary precursors for ketone bodies.(B) Red blood cells begin using amino acids to drive their citric acid cycle.(C) Amino acids are broken down and used to replenish glycogen. (D) The liver needs to make glucose for brain and RBCs, and amino acids provide the carbon skeleton for gluconeogenesis.(E) The ammonia released from amino acid breakdown is a substrate for b-oxidation, which increases during prolonged fasting.arrow_forwardOlestra, a synthetic fat substitute, consists of a six-carbon backbone with six fatty acids attached to it. Olestra is neither digested nor absorbed. (a) Explain why olestra would not be absorbed. (b) What effect could consumption olestra have on the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins?arrow_forwardThe synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrates is called (a) glycolysis. (b) lipolysis. (c) gluconeogenesis. (d) beta-oxidation.arrow_forward
- One of the modes of regulation of glycogen metabolism involves the hormonal control by covalent modification of the two pathways’ regulatory enzymes.(a). Name these enzymes.(b). Illustrate the cascade of reactions that governs the inter-conversion of theregulatory enzyme that is involved in the glycogen degradation.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following conditions would increase or decrease the rate of gluconeogenesis and briefly explain your answer.(a) high blood glucose level(b) secretion of insulin(c) secretion of glucagon(d) high levels of ATParrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about brain metabolism in starvation? a) The brain can use glucogenic amino acids for energy b) The brain can only use glucose as fuel c) Up to a quarter of energy requirement of the brain can come from fatty acids d) Up to a half of energy requirement of the brain can come from ketone bodiesarrow_forward
