Question
Answer
Identify the three major macronutrients from dietary fuel.   Carbohydrates, protein, and lipids.  
🗑
One gram of Carbohydrate releases how much energy when oxidized?   4 Kcal  
🗑
One gram of Protein releases how much energy when oxidized?   4 Kcal  
🗑
One gram of Lipid releases how much energy when oxidized?   9 Kcal  
🗑
One gram of ethanol releases how much energy when oxidized?   7 Kcal  
🗑
The product(s) of oxidation of macronutrients is/are?   CO2 + H2O + ATP  
🗑
The monomer of a carbohydrate is?   glucose  
🗑
The polymer of a carbohydrate is?   A polysaccharide (starch, glycogen, etc)  
🗑
The bond type (linking monomers to polymers) for a carbohydrate is?   glycosidic  
🗑
The polymer of a fat is   triacylglycerol  
🗑
The monomer of a fat is/are:   Fatty acids + glycerol  
🗑
The bond type (linking monomers to polymers) for a Fat is:   ester  
🗑
The polymer of a Protein is:   polypeptide  
🗑
The monomer of a protein is:   amino acids  
🗑
The bond type (linking monomers to polymers) for a protein is:   peptide  
🗑
The polymer of an Ethanol is:   There is no polymer for Ethanol.  
🗑
The monomer of an Ethanol is?   Ethanol  
🗑
The bond type (linking monomers to polymers) of an ethanol is:   There can be no bond type for Ethanol because there is no polymer.  
🗑
What is the 2-carbon intermediate that glucose, fatty acids, and amino acides must be converted to before entering the TCA cycle?   acetyl CoA  
🗑
What does 'TCA' stand for when referencing the TCA cycle?   tricarboxylic acid pathway  
🗑
Within the TCA cycle, what happens to acetyl CoA?   Acetyl CoA undergoes complete oxidation to CO2. The electrons extracted from the acetate are transferred to the ETC (electron transport chain).  
🗑
What happens in the electron transport chain when electrons pass through?   The electrons provide chemical energy for the synthesis of ATP from ADP + P. As the electons leave the ETC, they are transferred to molecular oxygen to form water.  
🗑
What term is used to describe O2-dependent, ATP synthesis within the mitochondria?   Oxidative phosphorylation.  
🗑
How many anhydride bonds does ATP have?   Two  
🗑
Digestive enzymes hydrolyze ___________ bonds to yield monosaccharides.   glycosidic  
🗑
Structurally, carbohydrates are defined as _________ compounds.   poly-hydroxyl  
🗑
Identify the enzyme found in salivary and pancreatic enzymes that will hydrolyze glycosidic onds to individual glucose units.   amylase  
🗑
The major monosaccharide of the human body is:   glucose  
🗑
Proteins are composed of ______________ linked together via peptide bonds.   amino acids  
🗑
In addition to their C-, H-, and O-atoms, amino acids contain:   N (nitrogen)  
🗑
The term amino acid refers to the fact that these compounds contain (chemically):   an amino-group (-NH3+), carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and a R-group attached to a central alpha-carbon atom.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
