- Explain the concept of amino acid or carbohydrate-fat pools, and describe pathways by which substances in these pools can be interconverted.arrow_forwardMost diets provide adequate levels of protein, even when trying to achieve protein intakes of 1.2 to 2 grams/kilogram of bodyweight. However, protein supplementation can be utilized in some instances. Discuss instances in which you think protein supplementation would make sense or be warranted?arrow_forwardBile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals and other vertebrates. Diverse bile acids are synthesized in the liver. Bile acids are conjugated with taurine or glycine residues to give anions called bile salts. * True Falsearrow_forward
- Explain why restricting carbohydrates in the diets of athletes is detrimental. What roles do carbohydrates play in the body and how do these roles relate to athletic performance? What is carbohydrate loading? Briefly describe the carb loading protocol. Which athletes would benefit most from it, and why? What function does fat serve in the body? Discuss the various roles of proteins in the body. How does protein apply to training, recovery, and/or sports performance? What are the recommended protein intake levels for athletes? Discuss reasons why requirements are higher than for sedentary individuals?arrow_forwardFor each of the three dietary macromolecules describe their digestion and and absorption in the bodyarrow_forwardWhich statement is NOT completely true? O NH4+ forms Urea which is mixed and excreted with water (known as Urine) O De-amination is the loss of amino acid resulting in removal of amino group as ammonium ion (NH4") O Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body (or not in large enough amounts) O Protein turnover is when body proteins are either hydrolyzed to amino acids and/or re-synthesized from amino acids to proteins. O Ketogenic amino acids are aminio acids that participate in ketosisarrow_forward
- Classify THE 20 amino acids as essential and non-essential. briefly discuss their each amino acids specific importance in the body. For essential amino acids, identify their dietary sources.arrow_forwardInsufficient intake of lipids in the diet is an example of which of the following? Choose one from the following: (A) malnutrition (B) malnourishmentarrow_forwardExplain why regularly ingesting a large excess of a fat-soluble vitamin can lead to severe health problems, whereas ingesting a large excess of a water-soluble vitamin often causes no major health problemsarrow_forward
- Explain how dietary protein plays a critical role in countless physiological processes in the body.arrow_forwardWould altering the unsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratio in tissues be easier to accomplish in ruminants or non-ruminants? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardHow does a ketogenic diet decrease the level of urea in obese patients and increase the level of creatine in obese patients? (explain on a molecular level)arrow_forward
