Exam 30: A: Nutrition and Metabolism

One of the roles of pyruvic acid in anaerobic respiration is to convert NADH back to NAD.

Both fatty acids and glycerol enter at the Krebs cycle to be catabolized.

Epinephrine stimulates glycogenesis in the cells as part of the "fight-or-flight" response.

Just as there are essential amino acids,there are essential fatty acids.

The basal metabolic rate is the smallest amount of energy needed to maintain life.

The basal metabolic rate usually constitutes about 85% to 90% of the total metabolic rate.

A larger individual has the same basal metabolic rate as a small person per square meter of body surface.

The acetyl group is carried to the citric acid cycle by coenzyme A.

Caffeine can be used to lower the basal metabolic rate.

The Cori cycle is another term for the electron transport chain.

An end product of the anaerobic pathway of glucose is lactic acid.

Monosaccharides do not need to be digested but can be absorbed directly into the internal environment.

Metabolism requires the use of enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

It is correct to say that ATP functions as the universal biological energy currency.

The level of glucose in the blood has an impact on the appetite center.

The citric acid cycle is important because it produces more ATP than any other process in carbohydrate catabolism.

Lipids are transported in blood as chylomicrons,lipoproteins,and free fatty acids.

Both vitamins and minerals act as coenzymes for the body.

Oxygen is required for the last step of glycolysis.

A saturated fat is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
