- For each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). A. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy). B. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone). C. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).arrow_forward1. 65 years old woman with low physical activity got the excess carbohydrates (about 400 g daily) for several years. The laboratory value of total cholesterol in serum blood was 260 mg/dl. Why the excess consumption of carbohydrates can cause hypercholesterolemia? To answer the question: a) compare the cholesterol concentration in the serum blood of the patient with the normal range; b) draw the schemes of the metabolic pathways confirming that overeating of carbohydrates can result in hypercholesterolemia; c) draw the scheme of the cholesterol synthesis regulation; d) give your prescriptions for the diet and treatment of the patient.arrow_forwardI need just the answerarrow_forward
- 24arrow_forwardBelow are some statements about starvation and ketone bodies. Which one is false? Question 11 options: Liver relies on glucose/glycogen as its only fuel source during starvation. There are three ketone bodies: β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone. During starvation, the liver will export ketone bodies to other tissues/organs such as the muscle and the brain to use as fuel. The liver is the only organ that synthesizes ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are a crucial fuel during starvation.arrow_forwardSince the patient was brought into the emergency room only two hours after the overdose, you suspect that her stomach might contain undissolved aspirin that is continuing to be absorbed. The fact that she is experiencing severe respiratory alkalosis eight hours after the ingestion confirms your suspicion and you decide to use a gastric lavage at pH 8.5 to effectively remove any aspirin left and reduce absorption of dissolved aspirin. Explain why gastric lavage was performed at pH 8.5 to effectively remove and reduce absorption of aspirin.arrow_forward
- Based on the 2020-25 Dietary Guidelines, what is the % Daily Value for fiber for a strawberry-banana smoothie with 7 grams of fiber? The first step is to identify the Daily Value for fiber, which is grams. The next step is to divide the amount of fiber in the smoothie grams by the Daily Value for fiber. Then, multiply by 100 to get the % Daily Value of % (type in the numbers only, no units, and round to the nearest whole number).arrow_forwardNumber 7arrow_forwardwhat process happens to your food after it goes through the stomach and intestine and where does it occur, and is there an equation related to this process?arrow_forward

Identify the substrate(s), enzyme(s) and hydrolysis products in the digestion of protein. Represent your answer using a general chemical equation. A2. Why does a person with low production of stomach HCl will have difficulty in digesting proteins? A3.
