The characteristics of vitamin P include the followings except: Select one: a. Vitamin P acts synergistically with ascorbic acid b. It reduces the level of hyaluronidase which prevents the oxidation of ascorbic acid and adrenaline, as result it increases the strength of the blood vessels and capillaries c. It increases the capillary fragility and their permeability  d. It is related to flavonoids and phenolic compounds

Which of the following is NOT a nutrient monomer used by the body to generate ATP? a. amino acids b. nucleic acids c. fatty acids d. glucose

If the body can use alcohol as a fuel, why can’t we live on alcohol and a multivitamin/mineral supplement?

Bile Salts are:  a.   a mixture of amphipathic molecules which emulsify fatty acids in the small intestine b.   enzymes present in saliva that digest proteins into amino acids c.   made by the liver and secreted from the gall bladder into the duodenum d.   enzymes that digest “dietary fiber” (cellulose) in the esophagus e.   enzymes present in saliva that make bread taste sweet after chewing

You are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes.  You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning.  Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study.  Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group?  Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body?   What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.  Identify the dependent variable…

Bile salts are synthesized from: a. Cholesterol b. Prostaglandin c. Triacylglycerol d. Ceramide

Which of the following is FALSE about carbohydrates? a. They are essential components of the genetic material. b. They serve as supportive structural and protective components in the cell walls of bacteria and plants. c. They can act as ligands and receptors in cellular communication. d. They are generally non-polar and supply the body with fat-soluble vitamins.
