QUIZ 2

Essay questions.

  1. I suggested in my lecture that nutrients are taken up by cells to replenish the stored nutrients in the cell, after the previously stored nutrients have been used. Why is this approach likely to be more efficient than supplying nutrients to the cells “as needed?” [hint: this is an opinion question, so will be graded only on the basis of how you defend your opinion.]
  2. What are the digestion products of the “energy nutrients” (carbohydrates, fats, & protein?
    What, if any, other functions are there for the energy nutrients, besides providing energy? [hint: I expect to see 3 development paragraphs, one for each nutrient group.
    What conclusion can you draw from the presence or absence of nutrient uses other than providing energy?]
