Expected velocity: 4.29 µM/s; Measured velocity: 4.40 µM/s
Structure, regulation, and energy
True or False: Most of the body’s water exists in extracellular fluid
compartments (outside of the body cells).
F, Most of the body’s water, approximately 2/3, exists inside the cell (intracellular
fluid compartments) and only ⅓ of the body’s water is outside the cell (extracellular
fluid compartments.)
What are three factors that are taken into consideration when establishing
the RDA? Check all that apply.
Bioavailability, three factors that are taken into consideration when establishing the
RDA. For certain nutrients, age, gender, and physiological state (pregnancy,
lactation) are also considered.
Diet quality, Diet quality, bioavailability, and losses due to food preparation are
three factors that are taken into consideration when establishing the RDA. For
certain nutrients, age, gender, and physiological state (pregnancy, lactation) are
also considered.
Losses due to food preparation, Diet quality, bioavailability, and losses due to
food preparation are three factors that are taken into consideration when
establishing the RDA. For certain nutrients, age, gender, and physiological state
(pregnancy, lactation) are also considered.
Metabolic waste, such as excess sodium, appears in the __________, whereas
food components that are not digested or absorbed, such as fiber, appear in
the __________.
Urine; stool
Urine contains metabolic waste. Metabolic waste consists of substances,
such as excess sodium, that the kidneys have filtered out from the cells,
blood, and elsewhere, and are excreted in the urine. Stool contains foods
that is not digested or absorbed, such as fiber or a paperclip. These items
move into the large intestine where the body extracts water and minerals,
and prepares the remnants as stool.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a nutrient
considered adequate to meet the needs of nearly all _________ people in the
population. The RDA _______ a minimum and is not an average need, but
instead is a generous value.
Healthy; is not
True or False: The RDA is designed to be averaged over several days.
True. The RDA is designed to be averaged over several days. This means you
don’t need to meet the RDA each day; instead, you can average the RDA out
over several days.

Given the following: Fat 3 g Carbohydrate 4 g Protein 2 g Let's walk through how to do this calculation in 3 steps. You may want to have a calculator handy.

Your body first uses your glycogen stores for energy. When glycogen stores run out, we can make our own glucose from amino acids by breaking down body protein. The resulting nitrogen is excreted in the urine. Nitrogen levels in the urine increase. Arrange the 3 levels of carbohydrates in the order of least to most carbon ring units.

Glucose How long do glycogen stores last for a person who is inactive but not eating? The most common monosaccharide found in the body is: 24 to 36 hours Which of the following is true about water-soluble fiber? Check all that apply. Helps slow gastric emptying and keeps you full longer. Helps slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream. Forms a gel when in contact with water. Helps lower blood cholesterol levels. Which of the following is true? Check all that apply. The storage form of carbohydrate in the body is called “glycogen”. Glycogen is stored in the muscle and liver. What are a few take home messages from this carbohydrate unit? Check all that apply. Glycogen is stored in the muscle and liver. During a prolonged fast, our bodies can make carbohydrate, but this will cause a loss in muscle mass. Carbohydrate can be used as an energy source in two ways: anaerobically or aerobically.
