#1
Front (Question)

Carbohydrates are hydrates of what derivates based on the location of the CO functional group?

Back (Answer)

aldehyde or ketone

#2
Front (Question)

simplest carbohydrate

Back (Answer)

glycol aldehyde

#3
Front (Question)

only carbohydrate to be directly used for energy or stored as glycogen

Back (Answer)

glucose

#4
Front (Question)

T/F: Glucose does not accumulate in the muscle.

Back (Answer)

TRUE. Glucose does not enter the muscle cell freely, and when it enters the cell with the help of insulin, it is quickly metabolized.

#5
Front (Question)

T/F: Brain is completely dependent on blood glucose for energy production

Back (Answer)

TRUE. 2/3 glucose utilization in resting adults occurs in the CNS.

#6
Front (Question)

2/3 glucose utilization in resting adults occurs in the?

Back (Answer)

Central Nervous System (CNS).

#7
Front (Question)

Intermediate products of glucose metabolism

Back (Answer)

pyruvic acid lactic acid acetylcoenzyme A

#8
Front (Question)

complete oxidation of glucose yields what?

Back (Answer)

CO2 water adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

#9
Front (Question)

Reducing sugars

Back (Answer)

lactose maltose fructose glucose galactose

#10
Front (Question)

The presence of this makes glucose an active reducing substance.

Back (Answer)

double bond negative charge in the enol anion

#11
Front (Question)

most common nonreducing sugar

Back (Answer)

sucrose

#12
Front (Question)

T/F: Nonreducing sugar do not contain active ketone or aldehyde group

Back (Answer)

TRUE.

#13
Front (Question)

T/F: Pancreas is both an endocrine and exocrine organ in the control of carbohydrate metabolism

Back (Answer)

TRUE.

#14
Front (Question)

As an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes what hormones?

Back (Answer)

glucagon insulin somatostatin

#15
Front (Question)

As an exocrine gland, the pancreas produces and secretes what

Back (Answer)

amylase

#16
Front (Question)

responsible for the breakdown of ingested complex carbohydrates

Back (Answer)

amylase

#17
Front (Question)

primary hormone responsible for the entry of glucose into the cell

Back (Answer)

insulin

#18
Front (Question)

where is insulin synthesized?

Back (Answer)

B-cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas

#19
Front (Question)

T/F: Insulin is normally released when glucose levels are high.

Back (Answer)

TRUE.

#20
Front (Question)

the only hormone that is a hypoglycemic agent (decreases glucose levels)

Back (Answer)

insulin

#21
Front (Question)

Insulin is stored in sources such as ______.

Back (Answer)

liver fat muscle

#22
Front (Question)

relationship of insulin and glucagon

Back (Answer)

reciprocal/inverse

#23
Front (Question)

Insulin promotes what processes?

Back (Answer)

glycogenesis lipogenesis glycolysis

#24
Front (Question)

Insulin decreases what process?

Back (Answer)

glycogenolysis
