·         Beta-oxidation

·         Lipoprotein lipase

·         The citric acid cycle

·         HDL

·         LDL

·         VLDL

 

14. All of the following are correct about the metabolism of triglycerides except:

·         Fatty acids are transported into the mitochondria.

·         Beta-oxidation splits fatty acids into two-carbon units that form acetyl-CoA.

·         The glycerol molecule provides most of the energy in the triglyceride.

·         The final step in aerobic respiration produces ATP.

 

15.  The fat in ice cream

·         Does not contribute to its appeal

·         Makes it rich, creamy, and tasty

·         Does not affect the texture

·         Adds too many calories to be appealing

 

16. Bile is:

·         Muffins

·         Butter

·         Ice cream

 

18. Lipids that are consumed in the diet are absorbed into the intestinal mucosal cells. From here, all of the following molecules, with the exception of ____, are not soluble in water, and are thus packaged for transport.

·         cholesterol

·         fat-soluble vitamins

·         long-chain fatty acids

19. Click here to view the How It Works animation.

The breakup of fat globules during lipid digestion results in ______ triglyceride emulsion droplets.

·         fat soluble      

·         water soluble  

·         protein soluble

·         none of these

 

20. An enzyme that digests lipids is:

·         amylase

·         lipase

·         protease

·         pepsin

 

21. Essential amino acids are identified as such because

·         The side chain on these amino acids contains nitrogen

·         The side chain on these amino acids contains at least 3 carbons

·         The side chain on these amino acids cannot be made by humans

·         The side chain on these amino acids contains nitrogen and at least 3 carbons

·         preferentially over carbohydrates.

·         exclusively by the brain.

·         during starvation.

·         only during exercise.

 

23. Someone whose nitrogen output is greater than their nitrogen intake is said to be in

·         nitrogen balance

·         positive nitrogen balance

·         negative nitrogen balance

·         There is insufficient information provided to determine the status.

 

24. If your diet is only deficient in lysine (lysine is the limiting amino acid), which of the following statements explains the likely change in the synthesis of the protein?

·         The transfer RNA will not have enough lysine for the translation of the messenger RNA so protein synthesis will be impaired

·         The transfer RNA will not have enough lysine for the translation of the messenger RNA but can substitute phenylalanine since both are essential amino acids so protein synthesis will not be effected

·         The transfer RNA will have enough lysine for the translation of the messenger RNA since lysine can be made from carbon and hydrogen and nitrogen sources in the body

·         The transfer RNA will have enough lysine for the translation of the messenger RNA by taking phenylalanine and converting this amino acid to lysine

 

25. Marasmus is a form of malnutrition that negatively impacts which of the following developing organs the worst?

·         The liver

·         The kidneys

·         The teeth

 

26. Why is protein-energy malnutrition more common in children than adults?

·         The child’s stomach cannot digest protein from the diet.

·         Adults eat protein sources from the diet that have a higher absorption rate.

·         Because children are growing, their protein needs per unit body weight are higher.

·         Children do not eat enough total calories so that protein must be used as an energy source.

·         The total dietary pattern

 

30. All of the following are correct about protein structure EXCEPT:                       

·         The final protein molecule always consists of one folded polypeptide chain.

·         The order of the amino acids determine how the polypeptide folds.

·         Polypeptide chains may contain hundreds of amino acids.
