What vitamin does not travel through the bloodstream in the form of a lipid micelle? - ✔✔Vitamin C
Which lipid has a 4-ring structure? - ✔✔Sterol
Which of the following situations is MOST likely to increase the rate of beta oxidation? - ✔✔fasting
A patient who is on a no-fat diet is at particular risk of deficiency in: - ✔✔Vitamin A
During starvation, triglycerides can help supply some of the body's glucose needs. Which breakdown
product of triglycerides can be used to make glucose? - ✔✔glycerol
CH3(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)2COOH - ✔✔liquid at the lowest temperature
Describe the steps involved in fatty acid synthesis - ✔✔Acetyl-CoA is transported to the cytoplasm -
Biotin transfers a carboxylate group to acetyl-CoA - the malonyl group is transferred to a carrier protein -
malonyl ACP combines with acetyl-CoA, - malonyl-CoA is added repeatedly to the growing fatty acid
What fatty acid will produce 8 Acetyl CoA molecules after it is completely metabolized via beta
oxidation? - ✔✔CH3(CH2)4CH=CH(CH2)4CH=CH(CH2)8COOH
Which set of molecules are produced by the beta oxidation of fatty acids? - ✔✔Acetyl CoA, NADH,
FADH2
Gastric bypass surgery results in an increase in the production of GLP-1, a peptide that promotes insulin
secretion. This is thought to be associated with the tendency for these patients' type II diabetes to
resolve after the surgery. If a gastric bypass patient has a mutation in GLP-1 that impairs its function,
