Which two groups have the same functional group?
ketones and aldehydes
Are ketones acidic?
No
What types of aldehydes and ketones would you expect to be water-soluble?
The aldehydes and ketones having three or less carbon atoms are soluble in water.
Aldehydes and ketones may be reduced to?
alcohol
What nutrient is used to form ketones?
protein
What happens when you fast?
Fasting, even for short periods of time, causes a state of ketosis. This is where the body uses ketones for fuel rather than glucose. In this state proteins are not being created. Fasting long term is not recommended because it can cause muscle loss.
What is used to supply some of the fuel needed by the brain only after the body has been fasting for a while?
Ketones
Which of the following is used to supply some of the fuel needed by the brain only after the body has been fasting for a while?
Ketones
Can a person drink water during intermittent fasting?
One should drink the water you need to stay hydrated, always. Urination is one of the methods the body excretes toxins, fat, and ketones from fasting. Not excreting them can be toxic in high levels.
Which two groups have the same functional group?
ketones and aldehydes
What happens when there is not enough CHO for energy?
You go into ketoacidosis. Your brain will use ketones instead of glucose for fuel. You will have bad breath, possibly be moody.
How does ketones accumulate in the blood?
When Insulin level is decreased the pathways such as glycolysis, Glucogenolysis, fatty acid synthesis decreases as a result glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis, fatty acid lysis, acetyl coA is diverted to form ketone bodies , ketogenic amino acids stored as proteins will form ketones by this ketone bodies increases in blood .. this happens even in high starvation, in DM also.
What is a urinalysis test for ketones?
Ketones are substances created during the breakdown of fat in order to become energy when there is not enough sugar in the body. Ketones can be found in the blood or in the urine.
Are ketones acidic?
No
Could the metabolism of fat explain the presence of ketones and the low pH of the urine?
Yes, metabolism of fats is a reason and can cause the presence of ketones and can lower pH levels. To make it simple, ketones form from rapid or incomplete oxidation (breaking down) of fats from the liver and forms ketones. Ketones are strong acids and this is why it can cause a lowering of pH in the urine.
What is 4 plus ketones?
This would mean that there would be four or more ketones (C=O) in a molecule.
What does ketones in the urine mean?
it means you either have diabetes , or you are suffering dehydration.Ketones are formed when the body breaks down fat, so when you are starving and have not eaten enough your body starts breaking down the fat from the cells that is already stored and that is why ketones appear, they are a byproduct of this fat breaking.Ketones can also appear from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and rarely after drinking copious and significant amounts of alcohol.The presence of abnormally high numbers of ketones in the urine (ketonuria) usually results from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Ketonuria can also be caused by prolonged diarrhea or vomiting that results in starvation.
