Margaret [11]3 years ago

There are choices for this question, namely:


a. amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose
b. glycerol, protein, and glucose
c. fatty acids, amino acids, and pepsin
d. amino acids, fiber, and glycerol
e. glucose, pepsin, and cholesterol


The correct answer is "amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose". In a simpler sense, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (a monosaccharide) that can be absorbed in the intestines. Fats in the form of triglyceride is are broken down into fatty acids and monoglycerides (not glycerol). Proteins are broken down into amino acids. 

<em>
</em>

<em>Pepsin is an enzyme that aids protein digestion. Fiber is mainly composed of cellulose or plant carbohydrates that the human body cannot break down as we lack the enzyme for it. Glycerol is not released from triglycerides from digestion but instead monoglycerides (only two fatty acids from triglycerides are released).</em>

Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because __________. (a) they ride on carrier proteins in the bloo
saw5 [17]

The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
