3. What is the difference between saponifiable and nonsaponifiable lipids?
lara [203]

Answer:

the difference is that unsaponifiable lipids do not contain fatty acids at least not as a component of the fundamental structure whereas saponifiable lipids do have fatty acids.

Explanation:

As a further explanation unsaponifiable lipids are lipids that do not contain fatty acids as components of the fundamental structure. On the other hand, complex also known as saponifiable lipids do contain fatty acids, and those fatty acids can be released in a process called saponification which is caused by alkaline hydrolysis.

True or false, the more lean muscle mass, the more responsive your body will be to insulin.
Naily [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A general misconception is that insulin is only involved in energy and fat metabolism.  When energy needs are high, insulin transports sugar from the blood into the muscle where it can be converted into energy.  When energy needs are low, insulin facilitates the conversion of excess sugar into fat where it can be stored for future use.

What is often overlooked is the powerful effect of insulin on stimulating muscle protein growth and repair.  An essential action of insulin is to increase the transport into muscle of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, where they can be used for rebuilding and repair. Insulin’s anabolic effects do not end there. Insulin also plays an important role in turning on one of the metabolic switches that control protein synthesis.

This action explains why combinations of carbohydrate and protein are far more effective in stimulating protein synthesis than protein alone.  Two switches are responsible for turning on protein synthesis.  One is activated by protein, specifically amino acid levels in the blood, and the second by insulin.  Consuming carbohydrate (which raises insulin levels) and protein in your recovery drink gives you a dual benefit.  In fact, research has shown that a carbohydrate protein drink is 38% more effective than a protein drink in stimulating muscle protein synthesis post exercise.

Another important effect of insulin is inhibition of protein breakdown.  At any given time, muscle protein is in a state of flux – it is being synthesized and broken down.  When more protein is synthesized than broken down, you have a net gain in lean body mass.  After exercise, protein degradation is higher, primarily because during extended endurance activity up to 20% of the working muscle’s energy is derived from protein.  That’s why consuming protein in your sports drink offers significant advantages.  It reduces the amount of muscle protein used for energy.  Higher breakdown rates of protein after exercise increases muscle soreness and slows the overall recovery process. By inhibiting protein breakdown, insulin mediates a faster recovery.

The bottom line – by taking advantage of how and when insulin works and how nutrition can affect insulin activity, endurance athletes can optimize muscle recovery and achieve significant improvements in endurance performance.

Katen [24]

Answer:Terms in this set (10)

Mouth

Small Intestine

Greatest amount of digestion takes place (if taken out, it would be 21ft long) (takes 4hrs to get to the small intestine)

Liver

Gland that releases bile and filters poisonous waste

Gall Bladder

Small organ that stores bile (you can live without it)

Pancreas

Gland that produces digestive enzymes and insulin

Large Intestine

(colon) Tube extending the small intestine where your indigestive food is ready for elimination

Rectum

Short tube at the end of the large intestine

Anus

Opening to the outside of the body

Explanation:

The organs of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Recognizing how these organs work together to digest food is key to understanding how digestion works.
