Chapter 3, Problem 19TYK
SCIENTIFIC THINKING Another aspect of the Nurses’ Health Study introduced in Module 3.9 looked at the percentage of change in the risk of coronary heart disease associated with substituting one dietary component for another. These results estimated that replacement of 5% of energy from saturated fat in the diet with unsaturated fats would reduce the risk of heart disease by 42%, and that the replacement of 2% of energy from trans fat with unsaturated fats would reduce the risk by 53%. Explain what these numbers mean.

Food 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.
What other molecules (besides sugars) serve as a source of energy for our bodies?
Research shows that regular exercise and physical activity have multiple health benefits. List at least five physiological benefits of regular exercise.
In comparison to glycogen, fats can provide more energy for the body per carbon atom. Why?
1.
Fats are more oxidized than glycogen
2.
Fats are more reduced than glycogen
3.
Fats are larger molecules than glycogen
4.
Fats are more polar than glycogen

- We should all know that a calorie is the measure of energy required to raise 1 g of water by 1°C. We all know that energy off our food is measured in Calories and that to lose weight we just need to use more than we take in. So how come this isn't a good strategy for weight loss: drink cold water. For every degree you heat up each gram, you'll burn a calorie. If a pound of fat is 3500 Calories, just drink 3500 g of water (3.5 liters) and for every degree it gets warmer in the stomach, you lose a pound. ?arrow_forwardFats and oils are both triglycerides. Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Fats and oils are both triglycerides. Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Steroid All statements are true except A. Fats are solid at room temperature because they are saturated triglycerides. Fats are produced by animals and oils by plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature because they are unsaturated triglycerides. Fats and oils have the same properties and characteristics and are not different from one another.arrow_forwardMeringue in “Lemon Meringue Pie” can be made from egg whites but not whole eggs, because whole eggs: a. contain the food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica b. contain the emulsifying agent lecithin c. contain more than 50 proteins that can be denatured by the low pH of lemon juice d. contain the amino acid tryptophan whereas egg whites do not e. have a pH of 9.0arrow_forward

The molecule in the food we eat contain substances stored in chemical bonds. Which statement BEST explains how this energy is released? A. Cells extract and capture the energy in food molecules all at once, then store it for later use B. Chemical bonds in food molecules are broken, releasing energy and allowing cells to use the energy to make ATP. C. Cells burn food molecules, releasing energy as heat that powers movement while keeping the body at the correct temperature. 2. A student prepared a test tube containing yeast, glucose, and water.
