- **SELECT ALL THAT APPLY ** The role of cholesterol in the body includes: a) readily enters the Krebs cycle for faster ATP synthesis b) helping to provide essential nutrients to the brain and lungs c) parent molecule of steroid hormones e) helping to mobilize fats during periods of starvationarrow_forwardWhat is the reason that amino acid degradation spikes approximately 24 hours after starting a fast? (A) The brain adapts to using ketone bodies, and amino acids serve as the primary precursors for ketone bodies.(B) Red blood cells begin using amino acids to drive their citric acid cycle.(C) Amino acids are broken down and used to replenish glycogen. (D) The liver needs to make glucose for brain and RBCs, and amino acids provide the carbon skeleton for gluconeogenesis.(E) The ammonia released from amino acid breakdown is a substrate for b-oxidation, which increases during prolonged fasting.arrow_forwardA. Energy is released in the process of lipid degradation. (i) Into which form is the fatty acid converted when it is transported across the inner membrane of mitochondria? (ii) Write an overall reaction for B-oxidation of a 22:0 fatty acid. (iii) Calculate the NET amount of ATP produced in (ii). Show your steps of calculation. B. Compare the mode transport of amino acids and fatty acids from the lumen of small intestine into the epithelial cells of villi. C. Briefly discuss why part of urea cycle takes place in mitochondria.arrow_forward
