ABOUT MODULE 4 NEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SOLUTION
The polysaccharide cellulose is composed of sugar monomers linked through beta linkages,
with their CH2OH groups in opposite direction relative to the neighboring monomer. - True
Nutrient that can not be broken down to a substance that can participate in the production of
ATP via aerobic cellular metabolism - Vitamin E
Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules, through what process are these ATP molecules made? -
Substrate level phosphorylation
What product of beta oxidation is able to enter the citric acid cycle? - AcetylCoA
What process is shared between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism? - glycolysis
A defect occurs that prevents pyruvate from converting to lactate under anaerobic conditions -
what is a possible consequence? - glycolysis stops because NAD+ levels are too low
What differentiates aerobic from anaerobic cellular metabolism? - utilization of 02 as an
electron acceptor
What takes place in the mitochondria of a cell? - production of FAHD2
production of CO2 in the citric acid cycle
creation of a proton gradient
What does not take place in the mitochondria of a cell? - conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid
Under aerobic conditions in a human, which molecule is formed in the cytosol by fermentation?
- lactate
A woman is about to begin her ascent of Mount Everest and is preparing for Day 1 of the
climb. Approximately 6 hours before the hike begins, she and her climbing team eat a meal
containing 80% complex carbohydrates. What is the physiological benefit of this approach? -
improving glycogen stores in the liver and muscle
Which process is stimulated when glucagon is released into the bloodstream? - triglyceride
synthesis
Which chemical represents a monosaccharide? - C6H1206
A patient with advanced cancer has not been able to eat a full meal for the past 3 months, and
his intake has gradually diminished over the last month such that his entire intake in the prior
3 days consists solely of water. What is most likely? - He is likely to have lost adipose tissue
and muscle mass
Which process is stimulated when insulin is released into the bloodstream? - glycogenesis
