Document Summary
16 marks- written (difficult to get full marks- abstract)- big question and little questions about scenario- think about strategy to answer- make sure to put enough detail to support answer to get full mark. Consume glucose and fructose- high fructose corn syrup- don"t need to break it down. But we don"t just usually consume just amino acids- we consume proteins which takes time to break down into amino acids and peptides and absorbing as peptides is more rapid. How much energy do we get from fermentable fibers- some of their digestion is blocked but we get a bit of energy from them when they end up in the colon. True- takes into account that there is endogenous protein also in the feces- there is a correction factor if it"s not corrected then it"s misleading about how much protein was available to the body. 1 urea cycle- different sources of ammonia- one is amino acid fermentation by bacteria in the colon.
