Misc.
True or False: Glycolysis is an essential process because it prepares glucose for the second step in catabolism, namely, the citric acid cycle.
True.
True or False: Products derived from anabolism may differ from cell to cell.
True or False: All cells have basically the same metabolic rate.
False
Name the process of splitting glycogen.
Glycogenolysis
True or False: Both pregnancy and lactation can increase the basal metabolic rate.
True
Carbohydrates and fats have a lower thermic effect than do proteins.
True.
True or False: In the human body, anabolism would not be possible without catabolism.
True
True or False: The basal metabolic rate usually constitutes about 85% to 90% of the total metabolic rate.
False
What is the name of the process by which proteins are synthesized by the ribosomes in all cells.
Protein anabolism
True or false: A larger individual has the same basal metabolic rate as a small person per square meter of body surface.
True
What are the most indicative numbers of a normal blood sugar level?
80-90 mg/100 ml
Fill in the Blank: Catabolism is a ______ process involving the _____ of energy.
Decomposition; release
Ed has a bet with Bob that he can lose 5lbs in 14 days. He increases his activity, so he's burning 2,500 calories a day. He has reduced his caloric intake to 1,00 calories a day. How much weight will Ed lose in 14 days? Did he win the bet?
He'd lose 2.8lbs in 14 days. He'd lose the bet.
True or False: Nutrition can be explained most simply by describing it as the way your body uses food.
False
The basal metabolic rate is higher in all of the following situations except:
a. Youth compared with adult
b. Male compared to female
c. Hypothermia compared with fever
d. Excess of thyroid hormone compared with the normal level
c. Hypothermia compared with fever.
If 4 molecules of glucose were broken down by glycolysis, the cell would gain now many molecules of ATP?
8
True or False: Anabolism is the energy-requiring process by which small molecules are joined to form larger molecules.
True
An increase of body temperature of 1 degree Celsius will necessitate an increase in metabolism of approximately...
13%
What process uses high-energy electrons and hydrogen carriers to release energy?
Electron transport chain
Fill in the Blank: Diets high in saturated fats and cholesterol tend to increase the blood _____ concentration.
LDL
True or False: Glycolysis requires the use of oxygen.
False
What is the best statement to compare the processes of anabolism and catabolism?
Catabolism breaks food molecules down into smaller molecular compounds and in doing so, releases energy from them where as anabolism does the opposite.
True or False: The metabolic rate refers to the amount of energy released by catabolism.
True.
An increased blood sugar level stimulates what to occur?
Glycogenesis
If a person's total metabolic rate (TMR) were 2400 calories, would his or her basal metabolic rate (BMR) be more or less than 2400 calories?
Less because BMR is about 55% to 60% of the TMR
