- Marathon runners preparing for a race engage in "carb loading" to maximize their carbohydrate reserves. This involves eating large quantities of starchy foods. Why is starch preferable to candy or sugar-rich foods?arrow_forwardAmylase is an enzyme found in saliva that is capable of breaking down starch into glucose molecules for metabolism. Humans have amylase in their saliva, and it is considered one of the first metabolic processes we carry out in digestion. When we consume some starchy foods, they often begin to taste sweet with chewing as the glucose sugars begin to be released by the amylase reaction with starch. In the following image, we tested a students saliva for the presence of amylase. Step 1: A starch solution was added to each of the three test tubes. Step 2: From left to right in the picturearrow_forwardIf both cellulose and starch are just polymers of glucose, why can we only get glucose from starch, while cellulose cannot be digested by our bodies? What is missing for cellulose?arrow_forward
- Disaccharides like lactose can barely get through dialysis tubing, but CAN NOT move across a cell membrane. Therefore, what must happen to disaccharides and polysaccharides that we eat in order for our cells to use them as energy molecules?arrow_forwardWhy can't humans digest cellulose while ruminants can? What is the difference between the two organisms?arrow_forwardBoth cellulose and starch are long polymers made up thousands of glucose molecules. Yet humans can digest starch but not cellulose. What is the reason that human cannot digest cellulose? Possible responses belowarrow_forward
- Although high cholesterol level is associated with cardiovascular disease, cholesterol plays an important role in our system. What are the functions of cholesterol in our body?arrow_forwardIf humans had the ability to digest cellulose, what would a high fiber diet do to blood glucose levels?arrow_forwardCholesterol is a needed substance for the human body; we use it as a base for certain hormones and as a support structure in our plasma membranes. If it is needed in the body,how can it also be harmful?arrow_forward
- Some weight lifters like to consume various products containing creatine phosphate. Why would this be useful? Why would weight lifters benefit more than marathon runners from creatine phosphate?arrow_forwardWhy does the human body prefer carbohydrates over lipids as an immediate source of energy?arrow_forwardFood faddists often make exaggerated claims about certain types of food. For instance, some promoters of weight-loss diets claim that carbohydrate (for example, rice) is harmful and should be omitted from the diet or intake of carbohydrate significantly reduced. There is a saying that “fats burn in the fire of carbohydrates”. What is the meaning of this? What would be the effect of a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake on the utilization of fats for energy? Cite the biochemical mechanisms that support your answer.arrow_forward
