cellulose

Question 4

name structure

Answer 4

galactose

Question 5

name structure

Answer 5

fructose

Question 6

name structure

Answer 6

glucose

Question 7

name structure

Answer 7

glycogen

Question 8

name structure

Answer 8

isomaltose

Question 9

name structure

Answer 9

lactose

Question 10

name structure

Answer 10

maltose

Question 11

name structure

Answer 11

sucrose

Question 12

name linkage

Answer 12

alpha linkage

Question 13

name linkage

Answer 13

beta linkage (draw beta going up)

Question 14

(L/D) sugars are more abundant biological structures

Answer 14

D

Question 15

four major dietary carbs

Answer 15

amylose (starch, amylopectin (starch), lactose, sucrose (table sugar)

Question 16

why can we not digest cellulose

Answer 16

we dont’ have an enzyme that cleaves a beta 1-4 linkage

Question 17

where is table sugar digested

Answer 17

in the small intestine by brush border enzymes

Question 18

where does starch digestion begin

Answer 18

in the mouth, with amylase

Question 19

increased levels of serum amylase probably indicates

Answer 19

pancreatitis

Question 20

the specificity of glycosidases is based on these three things

Answer 20

type of linkage, type of sugars, position of the linkage (terminal or internal)

Question 21

(starch/disaccharides) are cleaved in the mouth by salivary amylase

Answer 21

starch

Question 22

difference between lactase non persistence and lactose intolerance

Answer 22

lactase non persistence–enzyme is no longer expressed at high levels

lactose intolerance–symptoms

Question 23

NADPH is critical for (synthesis/degradation) pathways

Answer 23

synthesis

Question 24

gluconeogenesis makes glycogen from (monosaccharides/amino acids)

Answer 24

amino acids, lactate

Question 25

where is glycogen mainly stored

Answer 25

liver and skeletal muscle (skeletal muscle stores it for its own use)

Question 26

oxidation of glucose to generate ATP and pyruvate

Answer 26

glycolysis

Question 27

oxidation of glucose to 5 carbon sugar to produce NADPH needed for biosynthetic pathways

Answer 27

pentose phosphate pathway

Question 28

during fasting, a decrease in blood glucose causes a release of (insulin/glucagon) into the bloodstream to mobilize fuels and increase blood glucose

Answer 28

glucagon

Question 29

when glucagon is released into the bloodstream, lipolysis (increases/decreases)

Answer 29

increases, to release fatty acids to be used as alternative fuel

Question 30

during the fed state, an increase in blood glucose causes release of (insulin/glucagon) into the bloodstream to promote fuel storage

Answer 30

insulin

Question 31

when insulin is released, fatty acid synthesis (decreases/increases)

Answer 31

increases

Question 32

when insulin is released, triglyceride synthesis is (increased/decreased)

Answer 32

increased, to store fatty acids for later use
