Study Guide for Final Exam (Test 4) Chapter 1 1. What is nutrition? Why is it important? The science that studies food; and how food nourishes the body and helps to maintain our health. 2. Explain the different types of nutrients a. organic vs. inorganic Organic – contains carbon Inorganic- do not contain carbon b. macronutrient vs. micronutrient Macronutrient- “large” provide E/ fuel to our bodies Carbs‚ lipids‚ and protein Micronutrient- regulate body processes; supports immune

The five hormone’s that play a role in regulation of glucose metabolism are Insulin‚ Glucagon‚ Epinephrine‚ norepinephrine‚ and cortisol. Insulin is located in the pancreas and the action of insulin is remarkable and also not as complex as most people would think. Glucose is taken up by a muscle that is at rest‚ which in turn regulates blood glucose concentration. This process isn’t difficult to understand because it isn’t as many parts to the process. Glucagon also finds itself located in the pancreas

error of metabolism that presents most notably with the occurrence of black urine when the urine is exposed to air. For this reason‚ it is also called the “Black Urine” disease. It is an autosomal recessive disorder and is therefore inherited genetically. Alkaptonuria is very rare‚ with a presentation of about 1:250‚000(ref1). The causality behind Alkaptonuria is a deficiency in homogentisic acid 1‚2 dioxygenase‚ an enzyme that is found in the liver and plays a key role in the catabolism of amino

Huong Trinh Maple syrup urine disease Summary Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism which is caused by the branched-chain amino acid metabolism disorder. This disease happens when the body is unable to process certain protein blocks (amino acids) properly‚ then accumulate abnormally in the cells and fluids of the body‚ usually associated with newborn babies. Notably‚ the urine of patients often has a strong maple syrup odor. MSUD patients have inherited one

are also terrestrial Crustacean such as woodlice and isopods. Crustaceans have three distinct body parts: head‚ thorax‚ and abdomen (also called a pleon). Excretion is the removal of toxic (nitrogenous) waste products of metabolism from the body. The waste end products of catabolism contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen. Osmoregulation is based largely on controlled movement of solutes between internal fluids and the external environment. Osmoregulation and excretion are intimately related;
