What is the synthesis process which uses absorbed amino acid in the bloodstream, liver, and cells?
Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form
of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of
carbohydrates.
In the first step of fatty acid digestion, the carboxylic acid of a fatty acid is activated
to a fatty acyl-CoA. This activation step
A) requires the input of energy from ATP.
B) requires the input of energy from NADH.
C) releases energy which is captured in the form
of ATP.
D) releases energy which is captured in the form
of NADH.
What is the rate of carbohydrate absorption vs fat and fiber?
How does blood glucose react to different types of nutrients?
