Answer the following question given this paragraph: The simple carbohydrates discussed above are used as the building blocks for complex carbohydrates. Monosaccharides like glucose or fructose can be linked together to form larger structures. When two monosaccharides are bound together, the result is a disaccharide . Some common disaccharides are shown in the Table below . Q: What is the result when two monosaccharides are bound together? Choices: - Peroxide - hydrolysis - polyketide - disaccharide A:
disaccharide
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some bacterial autotrophs make food using chemosynthesis. This process uses chemical energy instead of light energy to produce food. Q: What type of energy does chemosynthesis use to make food? Choices: - GRAVITATIONAL energy - CHEMICAL energy - carbon energy - chemical energy A:
chemical energy
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Yogurt is a good source of calcium. Yogurt also contains active cultures of "good" bacteria. Foods that contain these beneficial bacteria are sometimes called "probiotic. ". Q: What term is used to describe foods containing active cultures of beneficial bacteria? Choices: - sembiotic - antibiotics - carotenoids - probiotic A:
A: probiotic
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 24.3 Lipid Metabolism Lipids are available to the body from three sources. They can be ingested in the diet, stored in the adipose tissue of the body, or synthesized in the liver. Fats ingested in the diet are digested in the small intestine. The triglycerides are broken down into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, then imported across the intestinal mucosa. Once across, the triglycerides are resynthesized and transported to the liver or adipose tissue. Fatty acids are oxidized through fatty acid or -oxidation into two-carbon acetyl CoA molecules, which can then enter the Krebs cycle to generate ATP. If excess acetyl CoA is created and overloads the capacity of the Krebs cycle, the acetyl CoA can be used to synthesize ketone bodies. When glucose is limited, ketone bodies can be oxidized and used for fuel. Excess acetyl CoA generated from excess glucose or carbohydrate ingestion can be used for fatty acid synthesis or lipogenesis. Acetyl CoA is used to create lipids, triglycerides, steroid hormones, cholesterol, and bile salts. Lipolysis is the breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids, making them easier for the body to process. Q: Lipids are available to the body from how many sources? Choices: - one - five - two - three A:
Answer: three

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mutations can result in errors in protein sequence, creating partially or completely non-functional proteins. These can obviously result in harm to the cell and organism. To function correctly and maintain homeostasis , each cell depends on thousands of proteins to all work together to perform the functions of the cell. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the cell, the cell, tissue, organ, or organ system may not function properly, resulting in a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder or genetic disease. However, only a small percentage of mutations cause genetic disorders; most have no impact on health. If a mutation does not change the protein sequence or structure, resulting in the same function, it will have no effect on the cell. Often, these mutations are repaired by the DNA repair system of the cell. Each cell has a number of pathways through which enzymes recognize and repair mistakes in DNA ( Figure below ). Because DNA can be damaged or mutated in many ways, the process of DNA repair is an important way in which the cell protects itself to maintain proper function. Q: What do you call a condition caused by mutations in one or more genes? Choices: - intrinsic disorder - mutation disorder - evolutionary disorder - genetic disorder A:
**Answer**
genetic disorder
