Question

Short-and medium-chain fatty acids are transported to the liver in the _____, whereas long-chain fatty acids are circulated away from the small intestine in the _____. gastric juices lymph bile blood blood lymph lymph blood What is the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for lipids? 10-15% 15-35% 20-35% 30-45% Jeremy has had his gallbladder removed. Which of the following foods is most likely to be difficult for him to digest? spicy tomato salsa steamed shrimp French fries low-fat banana bread John suffers from allergic reactions like skin lesions and edema. He visits a doctor, and after a number of tests, it is found that John is the amino acid methionine. In this scenario, which following is most likely the reason for the that John is deficient in the amino acid methinonine. In this scenario, which of the following is most likely the reason for the amino acid deficiency? Insufficient intake of methionine Defective synthesis of methionine Sporadic process of transamination. Inadequate intake of nonessential amino acids Which of the following food groups has the highest protein content? Rice, breads, and cereals Lean meats, eggs, and fish Pasta, butter, and noodles Jam, dried beans, and carrots The three common components of all amino acids are: a central carbon atom, an amino group, and a carboxylic acid group. a halide group, an amino group, and a ketone group. a central aldehyde group, an amino group, and an alkaloid group. a nitrogen atom, an amino group, and an ether group.

Explanation / Answer

24. c. Short- and medium-chain fatty acids do not require carriers; they are directly absorbed and transported through the portal vein in blood. Long chain fatty acids require bile salts for absorption and are transported through lymphatics.

25. c. The AMDR of lipids and fats for adults is 20-35% of total dietary intake of calories

26. c. Gallbladder stores bile; its removal interferes with digestion of fat-rich foods. Therefore, the digestion of french fries is likely to be affected the most.

27. a. Methionine is dietary essential and its deficiency is mainly due to inadequate dietary intake. Allergic subjects require more methionine because histamine released during allergies depletes methionine.

28. b. Animal-derived foods are very high in protein content.

29. a. This represents the basic schema of an amino-acid, and is seen in all of them starting from glycine, which is the simplest amino acid.
