When is the Module coursework due each week?

Match each of the non-protein nitrogen containing molecules below (left) with its description (right).

Select the true statements regarding cancer and cachexia (select ALL that apply).

The three major dietary monosaccharides are:  The three major dietary disaccharides are:  Three examples of dietary fibers are: The essential fatty acids contain carbons. Their names are: Oleic acid contains carbons, and double bonds. Three derivatives of cholesterol are: The two glucose sensing organs include the and . They express GLUT-. List energy densities (with units): Carbohydrates: Lipids: Protein: Ethanol: List three TCA cycle metabolites:  The two incretin hormones are:   

Free Response #2:  Macronutrient metabolism in the liver during energy surplus & starvation.

Paragraph 2: Metabolic fates of amino acids in enterocytes.  Your response must state the 3 potential metabolic fates of amino acids in enterocytes and provide at least one molecular detail about each metabolic fate.

Match each starvation stage (left) with its primary source of blood glucose (right).

Paragraph 3: Hepatic ketogenesis (KG) & gluconeogenesis (GNG) during starvation.  First, describe the hormonal and biochemical conditions that predominate in the liver during starvation.  Then, describe the processes of hepatic KG and GNG in terms of incoming circulating fuels and the inputs and outputs of specific metabolic pathways, including TCA cycle metabolites.  

Paragraph 1: Identify and describe the three energy systems that involve oxidizing macronutrient fuels.  Identify and describe the relevant energy systems in terms of the metabolic pathways involved, rate of ATP production, number of oxygen molecules consumed, number of carbon dioxide molecules produced, and theoretical max ATP yields (no “ATP accounting” necessary, just provide an estimate for max ATP yield).
