(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of excess insulin on lipid
Concept introduction:
Insulin is a type of anabolic hormone which is produced and secreted by islets cells of the pancreas. The main function of insulin is to control the blood glucose level in the body. It prevents the high glucose level (hyperglycemia) and low blood glucose level (hypoglycemia).
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect of insulin on protein metabolism.
Concept introduction:
Insulin is a type of anabolic hormone which is produced and secreted by islets cells of the pancreas. The main function of insulin is to control the blood glucose level in the body. It prevents the high glucose level (hyperglycemia) and low blood glucose level (hypoglycemia).
(c)
Interpretation:
The biochemical basis for the distended bellies of children suffering from kwashiorkor should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Insulin is a type of anabolic hormone, which is produced and secreted by islets cells of the pancreas. The main function of insulin is to control the blood glucose level in the body. It prevents the high glucose level (hyperglycemia) and low blood glucose level (hypoglycemia).

- Hello there! Please help me with these problems. I would appreciate it if you write me a short explanation of why you chose one of the answers. Not necessarily though, just if it makes sense to write me a little explanation.A. Which of the following is not true for the nutrition label? the serving size reflects the amount that people typically eat or drink all the nutrient amounts are shown on the label, including the number of calories, refer to the size of the serving the serving size is a recommendation of how much you should eat or drink all of the above 5. none of the above B. Which of the following is true for all nutrition food labels? they have colored sections to help you focus on the different sections of information on the labels the calories posted on a label provide a measure of how much energy you get from a serving of this food they are required to have colored sections to help you focus on the different sections of information on the labels A & C none of the…arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.arrow_forwardHello there! Please help me with these problems. I would appreciate it if you write me a short explanation of why you chose one of the answers. Not necessarily though, just if it makes sense to write me a little explanation. A. Which of the following nutrient must be listed on the nutrition facts panel on a food label? total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber sugars, added sugars, protein, calcium, vitamin D, iron, and potassium saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, soluble and insoluble fiber, sugar alcohol, other carbohydrates, and other vitamins and minerals A & B A & C B. Which of the following is not true for Tolerable Upper Intake Levels? indicate the highest continuous intake of a particular nutrient that may be taken without causing health problems it is rare for to find amounts of a nutrient exceeding the UL in a balanced diet based on whole foods if a nutrient does not have a UL, it does not mean…arrow_forward
- True or False c. Glycogen synthase catalyzes the synthesis of α-1,6 linkages. True False d. The activated form of glucose is added to the non-reducing end of glycogen molecules. True Falsearrow_forwardPlease be fast . Explain well.arrow_forwardPart A Match the following. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Note: not all labels will be used. Reset Help compounds produced when there is little or no carbohydrate metabolism and a subsequent increase in fat metabolism a carrier of electrons to the site of ATP ketone bodies transaminated amino acid production, from oxidation reactions involving carbon-carbon double bonds FAD lipoproteins formed from triacylglycerols and protein chylomicrons an amino acid that is not synthesized in the body B oxidation a major step in fatty acid degradation essential amino acidarrow_forward
- Pernicious anemia. Purine biosynthesis is impaired by vitamin B12 B12 deficiency. Why? How might fatty acid and amino acid metabolism also be affected bya vitamin B12B12 deficiency?arrow_forwardIn briefly give. What is hepatotoxicity and why is it serious?arrow_forwardIDENTIFICATION. One of the B-complex vitamins which is the precursor of Nicotinamide in the coenzyme NAD+. Carrier of the activated amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into the growing peptide chain. Molecule that attaches to myosin and actin during muscle contraction.arrow_forward
- True or false. If false, changed the underlined words. Ceramides consist of a fatty acyl group linked to the C-2 amino group of sphingosine by an peptide bond. mRNA carries the activated amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into growing peptide chains during protein synthesis. Cholecalciferol is the active form of Vitamin D.arrow_forward. Describe the β-oxidation of the fatty acid palmitatearrow_forwardBIOCHEMISTRY. Could glycerol be used to regenerate the OAA for maintenance of TCA cycle activity? Yes or No? Explain.arrow_forward
