Digestion procedure in healthy individuals.
Introduction:
Starvation is the extreme case of malnutrition in which there is a severe deficiency in the caloric intake. In starvation, the amount of caloric intake is below than the normal amount which is required by the body to perform essential functions. Starvation has many forms like marasmus, kwashiorkor, anorexia, and bulimia.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following:
The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones,
fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body.
Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of
glucose into the cells.
Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a
lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when
concentrations are low.
Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple
pathways and have multiple fates.
The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for
gluconeogenesis.
The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for
energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.
Metabolic ketoacidosis is a common problem with diabetics, which is caused by which of the following?
Excessive oxidation of fatty acids, leading to an accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood.
Excessive oxidation of glucose, leading to an accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood.
Excessive oxidation of proteins, leading to an accumulation of ammonia in the blood.
Hyperglycemia.
Insufficient intake of lipids in the diet is an example of which of the following?
Choose one from the following:
(A) malnutrition
(B) malnourishment

- In which condition(s) will protein utilization be increased? During conditions when a disease decreases the supply of energy to specific tissues as in diabetes. During starvation when the body relies on alternative sources energy During conditions of amino acid imbalance, i.e. an essential nino acid is lacking in the diet. Both A and B All of these.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the ketone bodies is/are TRUE? Produced during starvation and in diabetic patients Excess is transformed to acetone or hydroxybutyrate. Extreme amount of ketone bodies may cause ketosis in diabetics. Occurs during a high-lipid and low-protein diet.arrow_forwardThe body doesn’t have a reserve of proteins or amino acids for energy production. Which class of protein may be used initially during fasting to maintain glucose and energy levels? What is the difference between a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid and why are both important during fasting?arrow_forward
- Which statement about steroids is TRUE? Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase introduces oxygen atoms into calcitriol. Cytochrome c oxidase requires cholesterol for full activity. All classes of steroid hormones have a different number of carbon atoms. Cholesterol is excreted from the organism only in the form of bile salts. All steroids are usually hydrophilic, so they can be transported without the help of lipoprotein particles.arrow_forwardWhich statements about absorption of vitamins or minerals are true? Select all that apply. Micronutrients may be in competition for absorption with each other. Vitamins and minerals are efficiently absorbed by the body between 85% and 99% of what is consumed. To be useful for cellular function, vitamins must remain in their original chemical structure. Calcium found in plant sources is more readily absorbed than from animal sources. Absorption of some vitamins and minerals can be influenced by what sort of foods are consumed within the same meal.

OPyridoxine (B6) Biotin (B7) Folic Acid (B9) Cobalamin (B12) all of the abovearrow_forward
- Which of the following processes would happen on a large scale during starvation (and not in a person who eats regularly)? Chylomicrons deliver lipids to adipose (fat) cells Gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney; glucose is secreted into blood Protein catabolism in muscle cells; liberated amino acids are funneled into the Krebs cycle Triglycerides previously stored in adipose tissue undergo lipolysis; glycerol is used by the liver for gluconeogenesisarrow_forwardAbout 12 hours later, Devan hasn’t eaten all day. He eats a meal of steak and eggs. What effect does this meal have on Devan’s body? Group of answer choices Devan will begin burning glucose for energy and his fat metabolism will shut down. Devan’s liver will continue to make glucose from glycogen and amino acids Devan’s liver will begin to store glucose as glycogen Devan’s liver will continue to make ketone bodies from glucosarrow_forwardThe previous answers were wrongarrow_forward
- Glycogen depletion resulting from intense, extensive exercise can lead to exhaustion and the inability to continue exercising. Some people also experience dizziness, an inability to concentrate, and a loss of muscle control. Account for these symptoms.arrow_forwardAccording to your textbook define Malnutrition: Using the following list of chronic health conditions that have a nutrition component, put each chronic health condition in its appropriate category of over- or under-nutrition. Some conditions may fit into more than one box. -Scurvy (Vit C) -Obesity -Anemia -Tooth decay -Osteoporosis What is malnutrition? Over- nutrition Under- nutrition -High blood pressure -High cholesterol -Constipation -Anorexia nervosa Quantity (Calories) -Goiter (lodine) -Spina Bifida (folate) Quality (Nutrients) What other chronic health conditions can you think of that are caused by malnutrition? Write them in the appropriate box.arrow_forwardA carnitine deficiency might manifest itself as... accumulation of long chain fatty acids in the mitochondrial matrix. an inability to run ß-oxidation on 16-carbon fatty acids. excess medium chain fatty acyl-CoA molecules in the mitochondrial matrix.
