Study Notes
Cell Structure & Function
- Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum involved in lipid synthesis
- Small intestines are the major site of enzymatic digestion and nutrient absorption
Digestive System
- Liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are accessory organs of the digestive system
- Stomach, small intestines, and large intestines are the organs of the gastrointestinal tract
Energy Metabolism
- Krebs cycle produces H+ and electrons, transferring them to the Electron Transport Chain via niacin and riboflavin
- Active transport is the mechanism for sugar absorption in the small intestines
Regulation of Food Intake
- Hypothalamus in the brain is responsible for prompting food seeking behavior
Glycemic Index
- The glycemic index rates the potential of food to raise blood glucose and insulin levels
