Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : Need to identify the given food combinations as the source of essential amino acids.
Concept Introduction : Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised by our body therefore we need to take them in our everyday diet. Some common examples of essential amino acids are Lysine, Tryptophan and Methionine.

- The plasmalogens are a group of lipids found in nerve and muscle cells. How do plasmalogens differ from fats?arrow_forwardA college student who has been feeling fatigue decides to take an energy-boosting supplement advertised on a television infomercial and endorsed by a professional athlete. She reports feeling more energetic after taking the supplement but later discovers the supplement is only made of salt. What did the student experience? A. The effectiveness of the energy supplement working in her body B. The placebo effect; the student believing the supplement was working to increase energy C. An increase in nerve conduction caused by the salt tablet D. An increase in blood pressurearrow_forwardThe basal metabolic rate (BMR) of a person is the daily energy use for a person at rest to keep our essential processes running. An equation for the BMR for a woman is shown below. BMR (kcal) = (4.54 × weight in lb) + (15.9 × height in inches) - (5 × age in years) - 161 Determine the basil metabolic rate of a 136 lb, 5' - 4" 20 year old woman in watts. You will need to convert from kcal to joules.arrow_forward
- Arginase (an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of arginine) has an optimum temperature of about 60 °C and has an optimum pH of 9.4. Predict the effect of each of the following on its rate of reaction by answering increase or decrease A. Increasing the temperature from 65°C to 80 °C: B. Changing the pH to from 6.0 to 9.0:arrow_forwardWhich is a greater source of energy as food, 5 g of fat or 9 g of carbohydrate?arrow_forwardIV. Match the following: Numbers Do not use criss cross lines but use number to match 1. Vasopressin is A. Stimulates stomach acid secretion[ 2. Insulin B. Causes blood vessels to constrict [ 3. Rhodopsin is C. Stimulates lactation 4. Gastrin D. Stimulates contraction of the Uterus [ 5. Angiotensin II E. Stimulates growth& cell reproduction.[ ] 6. Prolactin F.

- 1. The antibacterial activity of flavonoids was tested against the bacterial strain, Escherichia coli. The minimum inhibitory concentration at which 50% of the compounds were inhibited (MIC50) are presented in the table below for some of the compounds. Table 1: Antibacterial activity of flavonoids tested against E. coli MIC50 (µg/mL) 25.50 35.76 Compound Kaempferol Quercetin Compound X Luteolin Tangeritin 5,6,7,4'-Tetramethoxyflavone Genistin Genistein 36.72 67.25 137.10 156.34 238.94 320.88 1.5 Explain how the structure of compound X would compare to that of quercetin based on its activity.arrow_forward2. A 44-year-old obese barman who complained of recurrent epigastric pain underwent endoscopy. Because he admitted to heavy alcohol ingestion, blood was taken for liver function tests (LFTS) prior to the procedure. Endoscopy revealed a duodenal ulcer. In the lad, the Scientist noticed that the serum looked opalescent and analyzed it for lipids. Serum: Total cholesterol 7.2 mmol/L, %3D Triglyceride = %3D 8.1 mmol/L. Comment on the above resultsarrow_forwardOne of the most common types of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. In addition to calcium oxalate another product is also formed in the formation of kidney stones in the body. Certain foods are high in oxalate and lead to an increase of forming kidney stones in the human body. These high-risk foods are as follows: Spinach Swiss Chard Almonds (nuts in general) Sesame Seeds Soy Products (such as soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt) Sweet Potatoes Okra Beets Chocolate Black Tea Another risk factor to developing kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Males have a higher chance than females of developing kidney stones, with the average age being 30. Oxalate in food binds to calcium during digestion in the stomach and intestines and then is excreted in the body as waste. If too much oxalate appears in the urine and not enough liquid (due to not drinking enough water), then calcium oxalate crystals form, which are the kidney stone. A 35 year old male was taken to the hospital…arrow_forward
