__________ is the conversion of acetyl CoA into ketone bodies.

Ketogenesis

__________ are considered "bad" cholesterol; high blood levels are believed to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

LDLs

Which nutrients function primarily as an energy source for cells?

carbohydrates

Which of the following nutrients is NOT matched with its use in the body? vitamins: act as coenzymesproteins: structural materials in the bodycarbohydrates: hormoneslipids: major energy source for skeletal muscle and hepatocytes

carbohydrates: hormones

Which nutrient molecule CANNOT be used in the oxidative pathways?

cholesterol

Which hormone promotes protein catabolism?

cortisol

Which of the following occurs when water is released (lost) during a reaction?

dehydration synthesis

Although both conditions share the common characteristic of elevated body temperature, hyperthermia is technically different from fever because ______.

fever is a condition in which there is a change in the body's temperature set-point

The energy stored in ATP comes from which of the following?

food molecules

Select the correct sequence of steps as energy is extracted from glucose during cellular respiration.

glycolysis → acetyl CoA → citric acid cycle → electron transport chain Glycolysis produces pyruvic acid, which enters the mitochondrion. There, it is converted to acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle. Electron carriers bring electrons from the first three steps to the electron transport chain, and ATP is made.

The citric acid cycle occurs in the __________ of cells and is an __________ process.

mitochondria; aerobic

In what organelle would you find acetyl CoA formation, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain?

mitochondrion All of the steps of cellular respiration except glycolysis take place in the mitochondrion.

Which of the following is not a product of cellular respiration? oxygen (O2)water (H2O)ATPcarbon dioxide (CO2)

oxygen (O2)

Which statement describes the citric acid cycle?

process that produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion The citric acid cycle breaks down carbon molecules, releasing carbon dioxide and forming some ATP.

Where does the process of segmentation occur?

small intestine

Metabolism includes both anabolism and catabolism. In hyperthyroidism, the metabolic rate is increased because ______.

the rate of exergonic reactions is increased

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

to regenerate ATP

__________ is the energy (kilocalories consumed) that the body uses to perform only its most essential activities.

The basal metabolic rate

How is ATP used in our bodies?

The energy released from ATP is converted into kinetic energy to do work.

Which statement describes glycolysis?

This process splits glucose in half and produces 2 ATPs for each glucose.

Which statement describes the electron transport chain?

This process uses energy captured from electrons flowing to oxygen to produce most of the ATPs in cellular respiration

Growth and repair involve primarily what type of reactions?

anabolic - Anabolic reactions are building reactions.

Which of the following contains the most energy that can be used to make ATP? 1 gram of fat1 gram of muscle1 gram of carbohydrate1 gram of protein
