Describe a distinct reason why soluble fiber can benefit a type 2 diabetic. - Answer-
Fiber binds to bile salts and helps keep blood sugar stable

For a person following a 2000 kcal diet, the recommendation is ______ grams of fiber
daily. - Answer-28 grams
This enzyme is made in the pancreas for hydrolyzing triglycerides. - Answer-Lipase
This organ stores bile synthesized by the liver. - Answer-Gallbladder
This GI tract organ is where water and some minerals are absorbed. - Answer-Large
intestine
This substance is secreted by the pancreas to neutralize the acidic chime. - Answer-
Sodium bicarbonate
This GI tract organ is where the majority of digestion and absorption occurs. - Answer-
Sucrase, lactase, and maltase are synthesized here. - Answer-
This digestive enzyme is made both in the mouth and the pancreas. - Answer-
Carbs AMDR - Answer-45%-65%
Fat AMDR - Answer-20%-35%
, Protein AMDR - Answer-10%-35%
Made from essential fatty acids. - Answer-
The precursor for active vitamin D. - Answer-cholesterol
Necessary for cell membrane and lipoprotein structure. - Answer-Phospholipids
Contain on average 9 kcals per gram. - Answer-
Where does carbohydrate digestion begin? - Answer-The mouth
What do you call stored glucose in humans? - Answer-Glycogen
Where can humans store glycogen? - Answer-In the muscles and the liver
What can soluble fiber do that insoluble fiber can't? - Answer-slow down glucose
absorption and bind cholesterol
What are the names of enzymes made in the intestinal cells? - Answer-sucrase,
maltase, and lactase
Once absorbed, where do the monosaccharide's go first? what happens at the first
stop? - Answer-the liver and it is made into glucose and converted into glycogen
How does the body respond to lot's of glucose absorbed into the blood stream? -
Answer-The pancreas detects it and releases insulin
How does the body respond to a drop in blood glucose hours after a meal? - Answer-
glucagon is released (glucagon released from liver and in the muscles)
When there is inadequate glucose available for cells such as red blood cells, how do
these cells get energy? - Answer-they start to break down fat and produce ketones to
use for energy
Why do we need essential fatty acids? - Answer-we cannot synthesize them ourselves,
so cells use them with double bonds and prosteglandice to repair and as anti-clotting
and anti-inflamatory
What are two characteristics of fatty acids that lend to being "solid" vs. "liquid"? -
Answer-Unsaturation- more double bonds, liquid
chain length- shorter, more liquid
