    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
