     anabolic pathways--They consume energy to build up

    polymers from monomers.


     metabolism in its entirety--Metabolism is a property of
    organismal life.
     It is the major site of alcohol metabolism.-Livers
     When ATP releases some energy, it also releases inorganic
    phosphate. What purpose does this serve (if any) in the cell---
    When ATP releases some energy, it also releases
    inorganic phosphate. What purpose does this serve (if any)
    in the cell--It can be added to other molecules in order to
    activate them.
     It is a biochemical process in metabolism where the simple
    molecules combine to generate complex molecules----
    Anabolism
     The end products of digestion enter the cells of a vertebrate by
    the process of absorption.
     correct order of events in the nutritional processing of this food-
    ingestion → digestion → absorption → egestion
     The main function of the human digestive system is
    to process organic molecules so they can enter cells.

     150-300 grams of carbohydrate per day that the adult can


    consumes.
     In a human, the movement of glucose from the digestive tract
    to muscle cells is most directly a result of absorption and
    circulation
     50-150 grams of lipid per day that the adult can consumes
     Proximal part of jejunum-----It is the major site of absorption
    of products of lipid digestion.
     70-100 grams of protein per day that the adult can consumes
     They are esters of fatty acids with alcohol containing
    nitrogenous bases and additional groups--compound lipids
     It is a short chain of amino acids.---peptide
     normal value of total plasma protein---6-8.3 g/dl
     Gluconeogenesis primarily involves the conversion of glycerol
    and amino acids to glucose in the liver.
     Catabolism--- describes the cellular process of breaking down
    large molecules into smaller ones
     It is the major fuel for all types of cells in the body. Its oxidation
    produces energy.----Glucose
     It is used for the formation of glycogen, pentoses, lactose and
    mucopolysaccharides--Glucose
     100 grams of glucose per day that our brain can consumes.
     It is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce
    energy. It produces two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH
    and water.----Glycolysis
     normal blood ketone bodies level--1mg/100ml
     Fatty Livers known as Hepatic steatosis
     lipids-are the group of greasy organic compounds, which are
    soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, ether and benzene
    but insoluble in water.
     12 grams -- The liver produces how many grams of albumin.
     free ketone or aldehyde functional groups. Benedict’s solution
    can be used to test for the presence of glucose in urine---
    benedict's test
     The repeating disaccharide of hyaluronic acid consist of
    glucuronic acid and Nacetylglucosamine.------hyaluronic acid
     They are made up of more than one type of monosaccharides.
    On hydrolysis they yield more than one type of
    monosaccharides. Heteropolysaccharides
     fructose known as levulose

     classification of carbohydrates that the most abundant of


    carbohydrates found in the food . polysaccharides
     *the two basic compound of carbohydratesd. ketones and
    aldehydes
     Simple sugars containing three carbon atoms are referred as---
    trioses
     galactose is a monosaccharide produced in many organisms,
    especially mammals. Mammals use galactose in milk, to give
    energy to their offspring.
