A

Define balanced diet. (Module 23.15A)

A balanced diet contains all of the nutrients needed to maintain homeostasis and prevent malnutrition.

What is the correct general equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP energy

catabolism and anabolism

Catabolism is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones, whereas anabolism is buildup of large molecules from smaller building blocks.

The vitamin that is required for proper bone growth and for calcium absorption and retention is vitamin

D

How do the absorptive and postabsorptive states maintain normal blood glucose levels? (Module 23.13C)

During the absorptive state, insulin stimulates glucose uptake by cells and during the postabsorptive state, glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to form glucose.

Identify the fates of fatty acids. (Module 23.11C)

Fatty acids may become a fuel source or a component of triglycerides, glycolipids, phospholipids, prostaglandins, cholesterol, and steroids.

Compare glycogenesis and glycogenolysis. (Module 23.7A)

Glycogenesis is the formation of glycogen from glucose. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose. Submit

________ carry excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver.

HDL

Explain the role of glycogen in cellular metabolism. (Module 23.9B)

It serves as an intracellular glucose reserve.

Keith is concerned that his brain cells will not receive energy-rich nutrients without carbohydrates in his diet. Which of the following molecules is a product of lipid catabolism that his brain cells could use to create ATP?

Ketone bodies

Describe the roles of LDLs and HDLs. (Module 23.10C)

LDLs deliver cholesterol to tissues and HDLs absorb unused cholesterol and return it to the liver.

What is the primary way energy is shuttled from the citric acid cycle to the electron transport system?

NADH

is NAD produced in the citric acid cycle

NO

purpose of the citric scid cycle

The breakdown of organic molecules to release hydrogen atoms bound to coenzymes that can enter the electron transport chain.

How is ATP used in our bodies?

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

basal metabolic rate

The minimum resting energy expenditure of an awake, alert person is called

define metabolism

The sum of all chemical reactions, both breakdown and build-up reactions.

Describe the role that hydrogen ion channels play in the generation of ATP. (Module 23.5C)

They allow hydrogen ions to diffuse from the intermembrane space into the matrix to power ATP synthase.

Define nutrition. (Module 23.14A)

absorption of nutrients from food

Metabolism can be defined as

anabolism + catabolism.

The minimum resting energy expenditure of an awake, alert person is called

basal metabolic rate

The carbon dioxide of respiration is formed during

citric acid cycle

This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.

citric acid cycle

A(n) ________ contains all of the essential amino acids.

complete protein

On a hot August day at the beach, the lifeguard jumped up and ran into the water, throwing a life-buoy to a troubled swimmer calling for help, and pulling her to safety. He was happy to help the swimmer, and once back on the beach, he realized that being in the water cooled him off a great deal. What form of heat transfer contributed to his feeling cooler?

convection

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

electron transport chain

What is the most important product of the reactions of the citric acid cycle, which will allow the mitochondria to produce ATP?

energy-rich hydrogen atoms (During the reactions of the CAC, hydrogen atoms are removed from the chemicals in the cycle and transferred to coenzymes to be transported to the electron transport system. This is the primary way energy is supplied to make ATP.)

Fatty acids that are necessary for proper health but cannot be synthesized by the body are called

essential fatty acids

Fatty acids that are necessary for proper health but cannot be synthesized by the body are called
