List the glucogenic amino acids, the ketogenic amino acids & the amino acids that are both glucogenic & ketogenic.arrow_forward. A nervous polecat. Pyrrolysine (Pyl, O) and Selenocysteine (Sec, U) are two uncommon amino acids. Knowing that these amino acids exists, translate the following amino acid sequence into one – letter code: Thr – Trp – Ile – Thr – Cys – His – Tyr – Leu – Ile – Thr – Thr – Ile – Glu – Phe – Glu – Arg – Arg – Glu – Thr – Ala – Arg – Glu – Asn – Thr – Tyr – Pyl – Sec – Met – Ala – Leu – Phe – Pyl – Tyr.arrow_forwardYou are what you eat. What does this mean? If you eat only celery, will you become a vegetable? Sometimes there are so many words used to describe foods and nutrition, it is difficult to make sense of them. In fact, we do use the food we eat to provide energy and also the building blocks for growth and development. Even after you are fully-grown, your body, just like any other machine, needs to make constant repairs to injured areas and must replace cells that have died. To make sure that the structure of your body is correct and strong, you must provide it with a regular supply of the right building materials. Foods are the building materials for the body. There are six large categories of nutrients in food. These are carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Each food you eat not only contains more than one nutrient, but also a different number of calories (energy). Fat, protein, and carbohydrates provide calories, or energy as well as building blocks. Vitamins,…arrow_forward
- The Big Picture " - Metabolic Integration. Metabolic pathways are regulated to maintain homeostasis in the face of changing environmental conditions, such as food supply. Explain how this is achieved during the fed-fast cycle using pathways important for three macronutrients (CHOs, lipids, protein). Also, specify the Signal(s) involved in the modulation of these paths.arrow_forwardMatching type Each color represents a bile pigment. Choose one based on the description given (Refer to picture) Choices: A, B, C, D, E product from bilirubin reduction end product of the breakdown of heme from reduced urobilinogen in the intestine from the oxidation of bilirubin gives yellow color of urinearrow_forwardCARBOHYDRATE DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION. Carbohydrates such as starch are polysaccharides. Digestion of carbohydrates begins in the where they are broken down into smaller molecules called v and maltose by v produced by the These molecules are then further digested in the by v produced by the These molecules and maltose and the dietary sugars, sucrose, and lactose, are finally broken down into by enzymes located in the microvilli (brush border) of the enterocytes lining the small intestine. The v are absorbed by the enterocytes and released into the extracellular space where they are picked up by the v of the villi,arrow_forward
- FAT DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION. Fats are lipids. Digestion of lipids begins in the v by produced by the v. Fat digestion continues in the v by The majority of fat digestion occurs in the where fats are emulsified by bile salts produced in the Once emulsified into lipid droplets v produced by the v continues the digestion of lipids in the Lipids are finally broken down into v. These molecules are then bound to small particles of bile to form micelles. Micelles transport digested lipids to the enterocytes lining the small intestine. They enter the enterocyte where they are processed into chylomicrons and released into the extracellular space where they are picked up by the v of the villi. Eventually these products of lipid digestion enter the blood at the superior vena cava.arrow_forwardFill in the blanks.
